5.5 gen ANGEL EYES HELP

Hey guys, I just ordered the angel eyes kit for my 02 maxima and im a lil iffy about installing them myself, does anyone know a reputable shop on Long Island, preferably in the Suffolk/Nassau County area, that they have delt with and would be up to the task of installing these for me? I would be more comfortable with someone that has done this before and knows what there doing. I have all the instructions to do it myself but again, im a lil worried about messin up a pair of $1,300 headlights. thanks guys.

oh haha sorry i had thought of something else.

goldmaxnyc is the best local installer we have in our area (ny). He has done many installs already, you could search the org and find out his feedback from customers as well.

yeah i hear ya but hes worried about them so i figured he would want someone that does install them a lot. I know he's done atleast 5-8 cars from past customers on the org and people that have chased him down (literally ). just referring to his past experiences and someone that i KNOW who does them.

playero, we gotta meet up one of these days man, I'm always by hofsta and want to check out your car

the only real ****ty thing about the install is that if you have the theif bracket on it, its a b!tch to get to. But as for melting the headlight, you should put a towel over it and make sure it doesnt touch metal. Also.. for headlight leek, just make sure u seel it up good and let it dry.

i just ordered another set of DDE's and i have a spare set of headlights in great condition.. i am gonna do DDE's on my own time. so i was thinking if anyone who wants DDE's .. i can sell them already modded headlights for the price of DDE's, they would give me their headlights to mod for next person and some bucks for my work .. that way they dont have to waste time sitting waiting for dde's to get done. ?
