Oh, so you are comparing the one pair of lightforces to two pairs of 500's since the lightforces are adjustable? Ok... I think I see where you were going. All I know is that with a baby on the way, I couldn't justify $200 for lights.

Hey, you're in Houston, right? I'm heading out there for a day-trip on Saturday...

When the baby comes, sell it on the black market and you can get some LightForce 170's and then you can say you have twins.

Don't have time to read everything right now, but wanted to make sure I was on this thread so when I got to purchase lights, I'll know what to get.

Congrats there Matt.
You'll like the lights. I run mine every morning going to work.
Like Keisur said, they will blind you on the street signs. And i'm only running the 140's that are 75 watts.

In the winter i pop on the fog lens. It really works great throwing the light beam to the sides.


Make sure you take some pictures

Round VS Rectangle?

What about the difference in round Hella 500's VS Rectangle Hella 550's?

Is Round better, it seems to be what everyone is running.

Yep, that be me on the right. I took off the yellow fog lens last month and now running the clear lens.

I don't know WHO that guy next to me is. I found him wandering around on the forest roads singing to himself
Actually that is Corey. Scroll up a bit and he posted that he is running Hella 500's.
