Hella 500s...

Yet another H500 question by me...

Does anyone know where I can get the CLEAR covers for the lights? I dont want to have the stone gauds on all the time. and I definitely dont want cracked lights..

Also, Ive decided to "roll" my own harness, as the Hella one is too short for me, and the wiring is WAY too small. What gauge wiring should I use? would a 14AWG be good or should I use 12AWG?

Thanks...

Yep, got 'em on my rig, two sets.

Got them from the URL above a few years back, and they rock.
No chips whatsoever on the covers.

Wire guage info here from the Tech section.

10 & 14 guage.

I couldnt find any 10 or 14AWG wiring at Radio Shack, the auto parts store, or Circuit City...So I bought a bunch of 12 AWG...is that okay?

And to get the switch signal, do I just shove the wire into the fuse or wo I have to use a fuse tap?

When I use to do the tap dance with the in cab fuses pre-aux. fuse box, I just shoved the wire behind the fuse.
Never used a tap.
