Fogs are shot, what now?
For some mysterious reason one of my Hella 500's doesn't work anymore, tried switching the bulbs same thing, tried switching wires, same thing. One of em is just plain shot...so...here's what I'm thinkin, and here are some questions.
First off, if I leave my lighting setup the way it is now and I just go ahead and get some more fogs for the ARB...those of you with the FF50/FF75 fogs, how do you like them? Do they put out enough light for you? If any of you have a way to compare them to the model 500's that would be ideal.
For some reason, I just don't think the huge round lights like the Hella's do much for my rig so that was one reason why I was wondering about the FF50/FF75's because I do like Hella, they have been good to me and they are in my price range. So I could do one of two things, sell the 500 Driving Lights that I have on the Surco rack and get something a little bit more low profile or just upgrade them and then get the FF50/FF75's for the bumper. Or I could move the 500 Driving Lights down to the ARB and get another type of driving light for the roof.
My other question is, how much light do you think the driving lights would provide on the ARB that would be handy in bad weather? The reason I liked having the 500 Fogs on the ARB and the 500 Driving Lights on the roof is that way, with my high beams on, the fogs took care of the space between the hood and the headlights and then the 500 driving lights took care of everything else.
So I'm basically just open for some suggestions as far as a new lighting setup goes...any ideas guys? Answers the questions above would be great too!
Thanks in advance!

Well I've pretty much decided to go with the Hella FF50's for the front as fogs and I'll just leave the 500's on the rack for now, so if somebody could give me some feedback on the FF50/FF75's that'd be great, I think I'm gonna go with the round ones, cant remember which number those are.
Any feedback is appreciated,
Fink
