the wiring for hella 500's is easy. everything is color coded & numbered, and the diagram is clear. Plus theres several install threads on here, and other places with pictures.

ps. for the tires they want the height percentage too (the middle number). i'm assuming 65?

I have run PIAA 3000's both in the valance, kinda where the bumper curves up for the opening, and in place of the turn signals, using the "marker" light as the turn signal.

If you want a clean look you might try mounting the lights under the bumper at the front of the skid plate. This would work better for foul weather lighting also since you want them as low as posible to "cut under" the fog and reduce light scatter and glare...

Very easy to do, and lots of "how to" threads here on how to wire them up.

Just one hole through the bumper for each lamp.

Almost identical to my KC Slimlites.

The only thing I don't like about the set up is the lights stick out further than my bumper. I need a grill guard...

Oh, and the relay harness was FUBAR, well not exactly. It was just wired wrong but a major hassle none the less.

Yeah, I may put the old Hellas on my new rig on the ARB.
I run clear covers on them that are pretty trick, so you never have to put on or take off a cover.

I had two sets of the lights, but I think I gave the other set when I donated my Yakima Load Warrior rack to Mrs. Crash to help her fix up her rig when it got stolen and recovered earlier in the year.
