Im with xfeejayx on slipping a guy a 20 and getting it done. Shops around here wanting 400-450 to do my gears and LSD. I had a dodge mech from the dealership do it on the side for 250.

As much as it sucks, esp since it'll take just a few min, thats not bad. Some wil charge you the 90 for an hour of labor. I'm about to put the mopar kit on mine. I still need to get mine into the shop for the wiper motor recall and my power steering resorvior is leaking like a sive. Im just gonna mention something about it so they can do it on the side, and hopefully not charge.

When you add fog lights isn't it just changing the switch out in the dash?

you obviously dont know how shops, dealers, stealerships or whatever you wanna call them work so i wont get into it. considering most shops hourly rate is between 120-140 id pony up the $40 if you dont know what youre doing

Why not pay the $40? Here's a quick little rundown......

For one, this is all a Christmas present from the wife. But, the finances come from both our pockets, since we put our money together. The way we had everything planned out, Im right within the set budget for this present/mod. $40 extra usually wouldnt be too hard to pony up, but my job depends on it not raining. Ive had less than 100hrs of work between the months of Nov. and Dec. See my pinch?

Plus, I just flat out didnt expect to drop this much change on some dag'on foglights. Between reading/hearing several things about dealerships, and my ol' man being in the automotive industry (tranny's) I have an idea of how things work..... I guess I went into this a bit naive.

Thanks for ya'lls looking. Ill gett'er all fixed up before long.......

No, the dealership has to use the Starscan to turn it on in the BCM.
