Lux H8 Installation

Iglos · 09-02-2010, 02:44 PM

Hey Guys,

Can anyone recommend a shop in SOCAL to install the LUX H8? it seems that the installation is quite a hassle and I prefer to have them installed by someone who knows what they are doing instead of me screwing it up.

thanks

You really can't "screw it up"

It's going to take a while to get the bulbs spun the right way and twisted firmly into place...just be patient and you'll get it.

Each bulb/compartment couldn't be easier to access, it's just that it's a bit tight fitting the Lux in there bc of the heatsink. Honestly a child could (and probably should) do this. Small hands.

Just do it yourself.

great then I thought it was quite difficult but I'll do it myself and document the process for a future post. thanks

Def do not pay someone to do it. It can be a pain but definitely you can do it yourself. I think it took me 30 minutes to get one side in, but only 10 minutes to get the other one....

I also suggest you to install them yourself.

If you really need to go to a shop, LTBMW in El Monte
