The "bad back" remark suggests you wouldn't want to do a DIY installation of the base plate. Running wire for lighting could be more of a contortion issue than the base plate. But you might be able to use wireless lights... The name brand base plate makers have installation instructions on-line including Labor Hours, Degree of Difficulty, and Miscellaneous Notes. I did DIY, but it seems you could take the instruction sheet to a few shops and get a labor quote.
I can say that using new but discontinued base plates and tow bar for two cars, and one new base plate for a third, a used tow bar and used base plate for the fourth, plus a new Brake Buddy that's served all of them... Under $2500 and that's total.
