I am wondering what labor cost per hour for honda dealer is a good deal? I am being quote 198 dollar to install the fog light!!!! if i remember correctly they say that is an 2 hour 30min job, that's freaking 77USD and Hour!!!

That sounds about right. Its around $80/hour. It's not too hard to do actually. Better to try and install yourself and save almost $200

75 bucks is about the going price if I remember correctly.

Why not do it yourself?

Well i am buying a new 08 civic si....i was just thinking if i let them install it it will come with warranty right?

Thats true. I'm not sure... but you should ask if the warranty covers cracked lenses. Since you are buying it brand new it would probably be better to have them do it.
