$600 for offroad lights instalation?

[www.miami3drenders.com]

Hi guys, just wondering if 6 hours of installation sounds fear to you to be done in a hummer dealer?
The guy in parts department said he needs 6 hours, around ($600) because he needs to drill the roof, dismount the dash, etc etc,
$450 of road lights + $600 work =$1050 for the freaking lights
not sure but looks a little "too many" hours.

damn, i dont know if its a fair price but it sure is alot of money. Why dont you just do it yourself and save that money for another upgrade. The install isnt too difficult, heres someone that did a great write up on it:

that is a great deal, ask him if he is planning to retire.

i installed the marker lights with a friend the other day.. took us 2 1/2 hours max.. and we had no clue what we were doing..

Granted you have to install the switch, but that could only take 30 min MAX!

Lynch told me 1.5 hours to install if they did them.

RIP-OFF

The guy works in Williamson Cadillac, Miami, Florida.
He doesn't know even the of-road lights exist.
I think that I should talk with somebody in GM and confront him
With some references in my hands
Thanks anyway guys.
About install the lights by my self, don?t know, too risky for my, is a lease.
Let me try a couple of ?political movements? first.
If anybody knows in Miami or near Miami (Florida) about any serious hummer dealer
Installing of road lights let me know
Thanks again

2 hours maybe 3 is all he should charge.

Get a quote from VERA HUMMER in Pembroke Pines. They are only 30 minutes north of Williamson.

Also correct me if I am wrong. If its a lease won't the lights stay with the H-3 when you turn it in.

WOW!!! You should ask for a Kiss Too!!!


I just put 2 Piaa Light on the front of the H2 Brush Guard at a Off Road Shop.

Lights were Like $220.00 Labor Was $150.00 to wire then up,and 2 hours to do the job.

NOTE: The only problem was is that they damage my Grill On the H2 when they were welding the tabs to the Brush Guard. Now they are puting a new Grill on the H2 for me, out of there pocket.

Whoa.. Have they priced 'em yet..?? Was discussing the prices of grills w/ my dealer when a deer took out the chrome one on my H3.. $300 for it.. He told me to consider myself luck it wasn't a H2, they were close to $1500 since they are fiberglass instead of injection molded plastic..

They have bitch about the price of the Grill, I told them to call my Service Manager at the Dealership and work things out with him, for a good price.

I told them I would not accept a after market grill, and the grill better say Hummer on it. And come form a Hummer Dealership. They were the one that mess up not me.

And I am trying to be a nice guy about this little matter over my Baby.

Do you have the phone number for this turd? He might prove entertaining to jerk-around on the phone.

I thinks just getting some friends together over a couple of beers will have good results. Have them bring one of their "projects" too and have a wrenching party/bar-be-que...

[gr8hntr]

it took my dealer in memphis 1.5 hrs to install the roof marker lights
i saw the invoice that he gave the salesman it was for 511.99 (list was 711.99)
for the lights and labor

that was the dealers price ..since the wife made the throw them in on the deal

i wouldnt think the offroad light would be that much more
but i have been wrong before

A little more wiring involved with the off road lamp package as well as installing the switch in the dash, max time 3 hrs is all I have ever charged. 2 hrs for the marker lamp package.
