Re: $600 for offroad lights instalation?
The guy works in Williamson Cadillac, Miami, Florida.
He doesn't know even the of-road lights exist.
I think that I should talk with somebody in GM and confront him
With some references in my hands
Thanks anyway guys.
About install the lights by my self, don?t know, too risky for my, is a lease.
Let me try a couple of ?political movements? first.
If anybody knows in Miami or near Miami (Florida) about any serious hummer dealer
Installing of road lights let me know
Thanks again

Re: $600 for offroad lights instalation?
It's only worth it if you're willing to pay it.but make sure they use Mobil 1 and not conventional lube on ya  dont want viscositly break down with the friction you will feel,(too many hours 1.5 to 3.0 is standard)

Re: $600 for offroad lights instalation?
Williamson Service Dept is a rip off. I had them turn the tortion bars install my new rim and tires and allign the truck. They wanted $700 (my tires were already mounted and balanced all they had to do is swap them).
I bitched with the service manager and they did it for $385. Still high for 3 hours worth of work including smoke breaks.
What lights did you buy for the truck?

Re: $600 for offroad lights instalation?
When I bought mine new, it had the marker lights on it. I wanted the Off road lights. Wright's in Wexford, PA. charged me something like $700 for the lights and the labor.

Get a quote from VERA HUMMER in Pembroke Pines. They are only 30 minutes north of Williamson.
Also correct me if I am wrong. If its a lease won't the lights stay with the H-3 when you turn it in.

On a lease any aftermarket accessories can come off as long as they do not leave any markings or holes. I do it all the time. This also keeps me from spending alot of money on upgrades.

Seriously.. If you can crack open a PC, add a hard drive, upgrade the processor and memory, you can do this.. It's all one step at a time stuff.. Not even any multi-processing..
As far as drilling holes in body panels.. I haven't looked at the directions close to see if it HAS to be done, but it's just basic stuff..
- Lay out the template
- Mark your spots with a dry erase marker
- Remove template
- Have a smoke or a beer while a friend puts the template back on to double check
- Remove it and put it back on yourself to triple check it.
- Make sure everything lines up the same 3 times IN A ROW before proceeding. If you have to lay everything down and start again tommorow with a fresh less frustrated look on things.
- Take a hole punch and a hammer to MARK a small dent for the drill bit so it won't wander off the mark.
- Drill a starter hole with a small bit.
- Enlarge the hole with a bit half way between the starter bit and the size the hole will end up.
- Finally drill the hole to the correct size..
- Spray a bit of WD40 on the spot your drilling BEFORE you drill and a little bit while you are drilling.
- DO NOT WIPE METAL SHAVINGS UP, they'll scratch the paint. Blot them and the WD40 up with a fuzzy shop rag.
- Once the shavings are gone, clean up the WD40 with soapy water or 409.
- If you're paranoid about rust, use touchup paint around the edges of the hole...
See..?? Simple..
