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!

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.
