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.

Re: New Headlight Assemblies

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?

Re: New Headlight Assemblies

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.
