so i head out to see what these suckers can really do. on the way my buddies sittin on the side of the road in the patrol truck, so i flew past him haulin azz to see if i could give him a bit of excitement. he honestly thought something was happening and chased me lights and siren to the gravel pit were i was aiming haha.

i aimed these up above my headlights after screwing around for a bit, because i can really get some distance out of em. this is just going to show the final aim, not distance because the light reached much further than the camera will ever capture, sorry.

just headlights

aimed hellas and heads

and finally, some fun shots

with the hella covers supplied

overall, theres not words to put down how pleased i am with the outcome. stay tuned for the 500 fogs and or the 3rd gen factory fogs, probably a couple weeks.

I love your lights! I'm actually looking to add some lights to mine cause the head lights and fog lights aren't enough on some roads

 

[double0ram]

its clear that ill vote on hellas for that solution ha. thanks

 

[AutoAnything]

Fun watching your build and she is coming along nicely!

 

[double0ram]

Thanks.

Ill give some credit to ss4luck when its done, but I'm diving into a full hvac, gauge and headlight switch led conversion to red leds. I've always stood by vleds.com for all leds, but in this measure by ss4lucks recommendations ill be getting the leds from superbrightleds.com for the fact that the twist lock wedge based bulbs are inexpensive from them. Soon...

Time to look for some hella 500 driving lights and hid conversion kits! Do you happen to know the difference between the 500 and 700? Are your 500 the regular or the FF?

 

[double0ram]

Mine are the 500. The 500ff is sposed to be a better housing and the reflector defines the beam more that the standard 500, if that makes sense

The 500 and 700 differ basically in sizes. The 500 6 inches in diameter and the 700 is just over 7 inches. The 700 is also a bit thicker at just over 3 inches vs the 500 at around 2.5 inches. Either way there's room for an hid bulb!

holy crap!!. yea man if you wouldn't mind doing a write up you will have my devout attention. I am going to throw two hellas in behind my grill until I order up a brush guard and then that is getting two more mounts added to it so I can run 4 lights off of it.

 

[double0ram]

No problem. Ill do it in a couple days when I have some days off. Ill start it in a new thread and ill put up a link on this build page too

 

[MadSoul87]

By any chance do you know of any rectangular Hella's? I want to cut out a spot behind my lower grill where the tow hooks would go

Yes. Yes you should. Infact get some and run some hids. I don't think I've mentioned that there awesome before.... ha

 

[InDeepWaterBlue]

nope not once have you mentioned that lol

 

[double0ram]

Well if my opinion isnt clear, it will be when I add 2 more hella hids. Overkill? I think not!
