Local auto place change bulbs?

rbocc13 · 05-30-2012, 08:58 PM

Has anyone purchased/ had the bulb installed at a local place say a firestone and autozone or pep boys type?

Mainly interested in the DRLs(they are just reg bulbs nothing special). BMW charges like $105 with parts and labor and I'm not about to take apart my light and cause more issues.

Just interested in where and how people have installed besides the dealer and DIY.

Thanks

If you are talking about the Angel eye DRL's its very easy to do yourself. It takes like 10 minutes. It isn't worth it to pay someone for it.
