Of course being able to pick up the sights at night is important, but thus far I have found myself shooting a lot more during the day
Anyhow we are all different, so this is just a fyi.

I guess experiences vary. The Trijicons I bought were very bright at night, and they seem fine to me for daytime use as well. I'm just relieved to have a set of sights that works.

Your cheapest route will probably be to send it back to Springfield and have them do it. As I recall, they are pretty reasonable.

They charged me $35.00 to put the sights on my USPc, but maybe they are easier to install than on an XD.

Euless Guns & Ammo installed a set of Meprolight sights which I had ordered from Midway on my USP Compact a couple of weeks ago, and they did a good job. Unfortunately, I never really checked out the brightness of the sights in a dark room until a week or so later, and they turned out to be extremely dim — so dim in fact, that the front sight was completely invisible in the dark. I phoned Midway this morning and was told I could return the sights and exchange them for a set of Trijicons at the same price. So I am expecting the new sights on Monday, and I'll take the gun back to EGA, have the sights swapped out, and return the Mepros to Midway.

All that to say that, if you're still looking for a place to have the sights mounted on your XD, Euless Guns & Ammo does pretty good work.
