Installation DIY (FOR YOU)
I will be getting Diode Dynamics Foglight soon. I got a quote from Ptuning, and it seems high imo.
Does anyone here in the NOVA Region (FAIRFAX), willing to install the Diode Dynamics foglight for me? If willing, what's the price? |

Any reason why you can't do it yourself? I got the same kit last weekend. It's like 30 minutes of work.

Unfortunately, our homeowner association stated that no automotive work is allowed, and we don't have garages.

Not near Fairfax but if they quoted you more than an hour of labor it's too high, if it's an hour of labor that's about right. I'd do it for free if you were closer. |

I lived in an apartment complex that had rules in the lease agreement stating you weren't allowed to work on your cars in the apartment complex parking lots. When I asked about that rule, the building manager told me it was to stop people from doing things like rebuild a car/have it on jack stands for months at a time. Simple things like oil changes and light bulb replacements were allowed.
I'd say ask your HOA about the specifics of that "no car work" clause. And whatever their response, fuck it. Do work. |

Every HOA is different. Mine doesn't allow any work (even oil changes) yet I've done all my oil changes, changed struts, shocks, brakes, wheels, tires, exhaust, installed a turbo kit, etc, over the past 18 years with nothing more than a few threatening letters that I ignored. I'm not saying that you can always get away with this, just that in my case, it was possible.

I live under an HOA watch neighborhood that complains about my grass when it is only 3 inches or missing numbers on my mailbox, but I do most of my work on my drive way (not in the garage) and security passes by and does not say anything instead they wave and say hi. I even had my girlfriends eclipse with expired tags in the street and got a ticket, but once I placed it in my driveway no ticket and it has been there for 2 months and the sad part is I got a cop living behind me where my driveway is, so he differently sees the car everyday (luckily he works for a different county, and does not complain to local cops). Also had a drive-up mechanic come to my house and work on my civic on my driveway and street and security still did not complain. I think it goes more on the neighbors you have. I don't even talk to mine and they don't complain luckily.
I'm sorry for most of you, and yet I complain about the grass complaints I guess I should be more appreciative of my HOA. Hmmmmm naaaa still don't like them. HAHA I have also seen multiple people work on their cars at pep-boys, auto zone and advanced auto parts in Manassas, VA and not even cops have complained so try going to one of those locations near you, if they ask just say you bought the lights from them in case you still need to install them. Good Luck. |
