Default Place in Dallas that can install HID's?

i'm not brave enough to try it myself because i want it done the right way, but does anyone know of a place that'll install HID's? I'm getting them in today and would like to get them done this weekend. Thanks

Dave, if you have a basic understanding of wiring electronics, HIDs are a cinch. It's just a bunch of power and grounds, and the only somewhat intermediate thing you need to do, is wire up a relay that draws from a conduit that can handle a high current draw. Your stock power lines for your headlights make good switch signal sources, but the initial current draw from an HID ballast when activated will eventually overload your little weener-guage wires. I think you can handle it, if you want some tips and pointers, just hit me up!

mobile entertainment did my friends and they did a damn good job, and their shop is all about rice and other non skilled installations. So I would assume there are many places that could do it

Well, price it out and it's too rich for your blood (or just plain unreasonable), if you can wait till you're in Houston next, I'll be glad to assist. Supposing you have drop in projectors, the job wouldn't take anymore than 15-30 min.
