Looking for Professional LUX Installers

simpleM3 · 08-09-2015, 05:44 PM

I know how to install them, but my hands are too big to twist them in. Anyone have any advice or technique recommendations?...a six-pack to anyone who has small enough hands to get them in.

i installed mine by hand. I can help if you are around Richmond area.

just ask a kid or chick, its no harder to screw in a lightbulb

Definitely ideal candidates, but I am shit out luck with both at the moment.

Had my girlfriend do it. Just ask the first hot chick you see if she will help you put something on your car for 5 minutes ... Should be able to find one that thinks the car is hot!!!

I like the way you think

local mechanics should just have a ten year old on call for situations like this. Pay him/her in candy or video games.

Be careful attempting to lure kids to your car while giving them candy tho

you can do it. i have big hands as well and have installed harder ones than the lux.

simpleM3 · 08-11-2015, 07:22 PM

Thanks for the vote of confidence but that install is a bitch

The GF finally came around and did it for me. She isn't taking to kindly to being dropped down to 2nd behind the M3.

I understand completely. My wife did my passenger side as I was knee deep in FU's by then.
