Put my Hella 500s on!!
I put my Hellas on last night, here are the first pics of it! The only thing I used out of their kit was the lights. My truck was already wired for extra ligts, and all I had to do was connect them!! They come on with the brights.
Edit: Dang, I forgot to tuck in those wires...hahaha oh well.

Is that legal there? When I put them on my last vehicle (a Jeep...yeah I know) the guy at the shop told me I had to use a separate switch to turn on and off. Said it was against the law to have them come on with the brights. But that was back in PA.

sts2usnss: I do have a separate switch, I just forgot to mention it, I can only turn them on when the brights are on. Thats what I meant. Sorry for the confusion
faubrunner64: No the caps arent reversable, the bottom is specially formed to fit around the bottom of the light.
norcalsvx: Yeah, we dont have that anal of cops here in texas, plus the roads are really dark in some parts, so you really do need to use them! I havent been pulled over yet with them off!
Thanks to everyone else, I am really impressed by the quality of these lights too, they are built really well, cant you use these and upgrade to 100watt bulbs?

I hard wired mine right to the battery so i can turn them on any time and when the truck is off. I love them I had mine mounted to the bumper and when I put my winch on two weeks ago I had no bumper left. So I mounted them to the air inlets on the hood be the windshield. I think it looks awesome. If i can figure out how to get pictures on here I can show ya'll.
