I need more light other than my headlights, for I live in a suburban area with curvy roads with no street lights. I need your help deciding on what to get. Should I get optronics rectangular fog and driving lights or OPTILUX BY HELLA fog/driving(in one) lights to fit in the space below the grill, or should I invest in a safari bar and mount two hella 500s with fog lights. Are the 500s significantly brighter? thanks.

 

If you are just going for light output, I would go with a set of driving lights.

Hella 500's get pretty good reviews on here. Can't go wrong with them, especially for the price.

 

sorry for the big photo, but my optilux 1000's are great for me in my suburban landscape...

 

I love my 500's especially for the price.

 

i would recomment Catz MSPs or something w/projector in it

 

Just put a set of Hella 500's on my truck and they are great. Excellent choice for additional lighting.

 

If you dont mind oncoming traffict flicking their high-beams all the time.. I actually have aimed it low enough to use it as my headlight and they are almost as twice as bright than stock. I can keep it on without people complaining. just limited side vision due to my light pattern(driving) , but a good projector fog light will cover those areas. I just need to figure out how keep my factory ones to light up with just parking lights on.

 

I did mine using the writeup HERE
Works great, really simple to do.
