Yeah 1800 for parts that cost them maybe $150 if that is a little much. They look like they do an awesome job though. I'll give them that.

Id vote for finding someone local to do this for you. While clearcorners.com lights are nice, the actual cost of the LEDs they use are only about $40 max. That is some profit they are making off the install..

You're not paying for the parts. You're paying for the labor and the quality of work being done. While someone can do so at home, they may not do it as clean as clearcorners.com. It can be simple things as the precision of the holes drilled and placed at an even distance apart from one another, soldering wires together rather than crimping, twisting, electrical taping them, excessive adhesive, etc.

I'm sure others can do it just as good and cheaper, but also, will they take liability for anything that happens to them? Likely not. If you're worried about the quality behind it all and want it flawless with no issues and have the coin, I'd go clearcorners.

Even with all the quality they put into their lights, its still an outrageous profit they are making. Even $1000 would be alot to pay for this work so $1800 is insane.

I understand, but it's like ARC and Amuse. Look at how much an ARC oil cap retails for. You can get a Nismo one for much cheaper...but what's the difference? ARC is considered more baller. If you have the $$$, you'll buy it and people will know wassup. Same with Clear Corners. Mention they did your headlights and it's automatically.
