Default Houston, TX Headlights install

Does anyone know where I can go to get my blacked out headlights and sidemarkers installed in Houston? I cant do it myself my apartment complex has these "laws" that I cant violate.

I read your post as the headlights and sidemarkers are already "blacked out".

If so, Sal's Autosport can put them in for you. Sal's is located off of 290:

Sal's Autosport
14300 Northwest Freeway
Houston, TX 77040

I highly recommend them.

If you had access to a friend's garage you could probably do it yourself. Just take off the bumper! But if you do go to a shop hopefully they don't charge to much.

Not sure which part of Houston you're in but my friend's shop in Pasadena can do the install. Give them a call for a quote and ask for Derek.

No Sal's did not do anything with my headlights but they did do my full N20 kit, and Vortech kit with a BUNCH of goodies.

Their number is 713-462-8500. Tell them Christian sent you.

lol i did mine for $15... $225? ha

btw what law would you be breaking if you DIY?

EDIT: 15 mins of the DIY needs to be on the apt grounds, should you have an oven... spray on a block down..

I already have the headlights blacked out I just need to put them on.

It's against the rules to dismantle any part of a vehicle on complex grounds. I cant even wash my car And theres this one guy that is just waiting to snitch on me. Him and all his damn cats that jump on my soft top
