Good price for new headlight & foglight install?
I just got back from Illusions Custom Shop in Queens on Qns Blvd . I am tryin to change the headlights & foglights to 8000k super white bulbs and the angel eyes to a emit a white light instead of yellowish. The guy over there quoted me for $800. I was wondering if thats a good price? Also are there any other custom shops in Qns or LI that you guys recommend.

And he won't charge you as much as those bodyshops or installation places. Actually, first off, do you own a e90 or e92, that makes a difference in the angel eyes setup. And as for swapping out the headlight bulbs, just post up a thread once you get the bulbs and I'm sure there are a few members here that will help you install them for a lot less than what the bodyshops will charge you. Just my $.02 This way, you'll have more money left over for other mods. And I think you should go with 6,000k instead of 8,000k. I changed mine to 6,000k and I definitely see the loss in the lighting output. If you go with 8,000k, it'll probably be worse.
