LUX 4.0 Installation question

Hey guys,
I am interested in ordering the lux 4.0 and would like to know if there is any shop in the area that would do the installation? However, any of you guys know how to do it and have done it before would give me a hand. Of course I am willing to pay a fair price for your time and labor. Let me know, thanks.

After this I will probably do the JB2 next which I got Spool saying he would assist me which I am grateful for.

U know my nick name is MOD not for as car mod AKA Master Of Disaster. I pretty much break and wreck anything I touch so I pretty much stay away from anything that requires hand eye coordination . Anyway, thanks in advance.

If you are willing to come over to MD, near Germantown, I can give you a hand. I have LUX 3.0 and it was easy install (20-30 mins each side max). I have all the tools as well. Let me know.

I also will need to change the bulb of the fog lights to match the lux. Will the MTECH H8 or H11 work? Any recommendation. The H11 sure put out alot of watts (100W)

What about your fog? I also ordered the Mtec H11 for my fogs, hopefully it matches and does not throw any error.
