Driving Lights

Does anyone know of a local individual that could wire my hella driving lights, I live in Webster,MA and would be willing to travel up to 25-30 miles.

The lights are mounted and I have the wiring harness.

Thanks,
Mark

its VERY simple to do yourself. Being 19, i might be a bit more mischevious than the average person, but i wired my piaas in myelf (light bar, see sig) and did an HID conversion in which i modified the harness the kit came with and the light harness and installed everything in a couple of hours. the hardest part for me was starting and then getting the switch wire through the firewall rubber grommet (its in driver sided cowl) I hooked into the main battery terminal in the engine bay, and used the engine ground as my negative. I used the easy splice thing that the light kit came with to splice the switch controls into my driving lights (the ones IN the bumper), so when i turn my light off, the light bar will turn off, and when i turn my light on, i can choose to have the light bar off, half on, or on (two switches, one for each pair of lights). Technically this isnt legal as i beleave they are supposed to be wired into the high beams, but as bright as these are with the HID kit, my high beams are pointless, so it doesn't matter.
