if money isnt a concern i would go with lightforces. i have piaas as well as hellas, they dont seem to perform nearly as well as lightforces. just my .02

I have both.

I'd get PIAA if $ were no object. Seems like rust is less of an issue and the wiring is straightforward.
Hellas are good buy for the $ but the wiring is not quite as clearly set and it can be a pain to install.

Eh, I'm sure PIAAs are good but as basicly been said... Either save some coin and get Hellas or save up and get LightForces.

Thats just me though...

the lightforces have an adjustable beam, (like a maglite) so you can make it wide or narrow, if that helps any. also, look at the wattage of the bulbs, my piaa 520s are 85 and hellas are 55. the hella rallye4000 are really nice too

Piaa's or Lightforce if SPACE is not an issue (they're all pretty damn big)

i just bought a pair of lightforce 170s, but i don't know where to mount the switch (suggestions?). I'm also waiting for my lock nuts to arrive so these things don't get swiped either.
