2 minutes....just push the housing forward, toward the part line for the bonnet and they pop off...then twist out the lighting housing and switch the housings and put it all back together...

Here is a video to show just how easy this install is to complete.
I would not pay somebody to do this.

Somebody had the gall to charge you $42.31 for literally one minute (30 seconds per side) of "labor", after you paid full retail pop for the parts?
I hope they had the courtesy to at least give you a reach-around. That's deplorable.

I sure hope you don't have the dealer do the antenna and the MCS grill; both of those can literally be done in a minute.
And I'm not 100% on this, but I'm pretty sure you don't have to do any drilling to attach a roof rack for an R56 so that makes it another mod easily accomplished in the driveway.

I have absolutely no problem paying my Dealer or anyone else what ever it costs to get my MINI looking the way I want it to L@@K. I've not completed my list of mods yet, I'll be adding Tint, Wheels, Driving Lights, an MCS Grille(?), a Shorty Antenna(?), a Roof Rack, all of these will be installed by the Dealer, my choice!!

Hahaha, one-handed! Sorry RJ but the dealer ripped you off.

42 bucks??? Holy crap.
Just for the record, figure this.....
Average labor rate for dealer per hour.... 135.00
Money charged..... 42
That's for .3 of an hour labor.....
That's for BOTH sides.... so figure .15 of an hour per side.
.15 x 60 minutes= 9 minutes per side allowed.
9 minutes per side....
If it takes someone more than 3 minutes for both sides, someone's taking a break.

I understand that the OP paid the dealer, that's cool, some aren't capable of doing mechanical work and some just want the piece of mind that if something was to happen, they can rely on the dealer.
That part I understand, the part I think is wrong is how much the dealer charged. I think it would be great customer relations to have not charged for the mere 2 minutes they took to install the pieces.
I'm in the bodyshop business and when I installed my JCW scuttles, one fell off about 3 months afterwards.... (maybe I should have paid the dealer...lol)

I am the one who paid the Dealer to R&R Molly's Side Scuttles. And when I am able to get my next mod (April) I will have the Dealer R&R what ever mod I decide will be next.
You all have your own opinion and I understand that, so let's get back on topic and help the OP out, K??!!

I don't know where you are but if you're near Charlotte, NC, you can come to either of my bodyshops and we'll install it for you for free.

You might ask the service adviser if he will help you install them. I saw this happen at my dealer a few days ago on another accessory and in reality he did everything. He was happy he please a customer, she was happy that she got the accessory installed (mirror cap).
