Driving Lamps Total Cost (Parts + Install)

Hi,

I'm looking to purchase the chrome driving lamps for the Mini Cooper S hardtop and have them installed. Does anyone have any idea how much a dealership should be charging for the parts and installation? Can anyone recommend a dealership in the NJ area? Thanks!

If anyone has the install bulletin, could you please send it to me as well? Much appreciated!

PIAA lamps and VIP custom brackets. Look for the thread (PIAA 540 driving light photos)

I bought Chrome OEM lights, brackets, switch and interior panel, all brand new, with an outlay of just under $330 and I installed them myself with the factory instructions and the install thread on this forum. It took me about 3 hours and I modified my chrome Cooper grill within that time frame.
