So, is it worth the extra bucks for the 700ff?

Nice setup. That looks like a very clean install. Did you have to drill holes into the bumper or is it easier than that?
I have a 97 4Runner and the head lights are so dim it's almost useless even though I've replaced the bulbs recently. I really like what you did. |

oh, and the lights look awesome, I like the bigger look, and the look of the new "ff's" (freeforms (lenses)) I just picked up a set of the 500FF's and can't wait to get them IN my bumper

So what would be the benefit of having the larger diameter lenses of the 700's over the 500's? They utilize the same bulbs.

Great install, I am wondering if I can use my existing 500 wirings and just swap the 700FF fixtures? Are the relays and wires the same between 500 and 700? Thanks.
