New Headlight Assemblies

I have new headlight assemblies for my car. However, I don't want to install them myself. I have recieved two installation quotes:

STS $50
Autobody shop: $100

I am looking for a quality installation at a good price....

What do you suggest?

Thank you ahead of time.

What year is your Escort?
I have removed my headlights a few times on my 96, and it is no where near difficult.. If your Escort is a 91-96 PM me and I'll give you instructions on how to remove it, it takes 10 minutes for each light your first time, and that's if you're going slow.

Check out my sig. for my car's info.

Yes, I know you have to remove the clear corners and the grill.
Clear corners- Remove 2 screws each, pull and disconnect
Grill- Pop the pins and slide out
I attempted to remove them myself, but I got nervous because the bolts a pretty rusted and I did not want to strip them. Plus, I do not know how to align the lights (I know they have adjusting screws) and I would rather have it professionally done.

Any tips on where I should go and how much people charge?

It takes 15 min. to change both of them, anyone who charges you more than $40 is ripping you off, and to adjust them all you need is a nutdriver , a wall, and darkness. The only tools needed to change the headlights are a phillips screwdriver and 10 mm socket.

I agree.
Just get out the trust WD-40 and those bolts should be okay.
I just washed mine a week ago.
