depends what you want done completely (as painting adds drying time).. I've done a few sets already so I'm faster than a "first timer" but for the average person give it anywhere from 4-7 hours of building labor time if you take it nice and easy
still need to get pics of output

which kit did you use? i was thinking about getting the zzp HID conversion kit but had been planning on getting the H1 kit from thetretrofitsource.com that comes with the LED angel eyes. Just wanted to make sure the price for the TRFS.com makes up for the pain in the **** it will be if i have to afro-engineer a way to hook the angel eyes into the harness pre or post ballast.
thanks!
thanks!

i'm gonna be painting that part on my lights, i don't like that tan/plastic color showing up there, either. i'd say any exterior trim paint from vatozone should work. i barely prepped my grill and painted it with shiny black plastic paint and its been holding up fine and looking great

for my led strips:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/24CM-LED-Whi...item2a2351f71a
Bought two of these really expensive led strips and epoxied them in between the lines where fogs would be on a LS/SS, then dremeled a hole for the wires. Stupid c^nts at state inspection made me CUT THE WIRES to them because they said they are illegal if not factory installed even though they are 6000k white!!!!!! stupid dicks.
