005750941 500FF Series Driving Lamp Kit, Multi, 6"

These lights rock! Very bright output makes a huge difference at night, without the need for high cost other brand lights. Use them around town when I am alone on the road, and they work just great. Do not see a need to go with higher wattage or more costly options. When you install, take your time. The relay it comes with has different numbering on it than normal but has a chart on the side to give you the standard relay post numbers. No idea why it is like that but no big deal. Also recommend you use some heavier guage wires for the positive and negative runs to the battery and fuse box. Also buy a in line fuse for the positive lead to the battery. The kit comes with an inline fuse for the switch to the fuse box only. Not hard to install other than the switch does not tell you what side is up so you can get the posts backward (I did) and have no power going to the relay. Did some testing and found I had the switch upside down and the positive and negative backwards on the back of it. Flipped the wires around and viola, day light at night time. Wish I put these on my Jeep sooner, they help out the weak factory headlights a ton!

Ok, the 500FF driving lights are a good design in how it projects the light in front of the vehicle. I have been driving with Hellas in both my cars and 4x4s since 1985. They make damn good driving lights both on and off-road. I say that the 500s in stock form do a nice job in the city. However, if you do any off-roading and these are the only auxilary lights you have then I would recommend upgrading the bulbs to a 100W or 130W. Of course the modification will make them unusable in city driving. Personally I have adopted these as fog lights with crystal ion fog bulbs from PIAA. The PIAA bulbs and Hella 500s are a perfect match and work great in snow and dense fog. I don't like the conventional fog lights because the light pattern spreads too much light above the hood which is not needed. I have a FJ Cruiser with a grill guard where these puppies are mounted on the lower crossmember close to the ground. This is the best place for them. However, the pair of 500s are not enough to illuminate the back roads of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan where I drive at night. If you want to get excellent illumination I HIGHLY recommend the Hella Rallye 4000s with the Hella 130W optional bulbs. I have these mounted above the 500s on the top crossmember of the brush guard (same height as the factory headlights) . When you turn the 4000s on at night I will guarantee you that you will see EVERYTHING in front of the vehicle to 1/2 mile!

I installed these lights on a Saab 900SE next to a set of KC Pencil Beam driving lights. While they are not the quality of the KC lights, they are nevertheless reasonable quality and VERY good value for the money. Install was typical - no easier or harder than installing any other brand. Light output with 55 watt bulbs is EXCELLENT with a TIGHT, LONG RANGE BEAM. Not quite as focused as the KCs - but there isn't much in it -- and the light output seems as bright as the KCs with 100 watt bulbs. Because the housing is plastic I have not run the Hella's with 100 watt or 130 watt bulbs, I may give it a try during the winter. For me the wiring harness was a little light -- especially since I commonly use 100 watts bulbs, but so long as you use a relay to switch the lights and keep the runs short it will be more than adequate - but I'm an "overkill" type when it comes to wiring so I replaced the harnesses with #12 Tefzel (aircraft) wire for each light and everything is relay switched with very short cable runs. I would certainly buy them again - and will probably replace the KCs with the Hellas next time a rock takes them out. The Hella kit with two lights cost less than one replacement lens for the KC Summary - Excellent lighting, fair quality construction, great value for money.

These driving lights represent great value. Have seen reviews where many are saying the supplied wiring is marginal but it's more than adequate for the 55w globes. If you intend in the future to run higher wattage, then install heavier gauge wire to be safe. I used my own harness, a Bosch relay and Narva switch as I wasn't sure if I would need to upgrade the globes. As it turns out, I won't be upgrading, and the Hella harness would have been fine (although the supplied relay doesn't appear to be as well sealed as the Bosch relay is) The beams on the 500FF are nice. I find the 55w globes give me good direct and usable light out to about 350 metres with a nice amount of spill to the sides from about 60 metres out. The high beams are covering what these don't. At 55watts, these don't turn night into day which I like because when you have to dip back to low beam, your eyes don't have to dramatically adjust and you can still see where your going. And I know I can have these babies doing there job if another vehicle is beyond 450 metres from me without melting the drivers eyeballs. There's no point having supa dupa gazillion candlepower HID lights that make the surface of the sun look dull, if you can only use them 10% of the time. Overall quality is quite good. Once aligned and tightened up on the vehicle, they seem sturdy enough. Have done over 300 km on rough tracks (some very rough 4x4 low range only) and over 2500 km on tar and they haven't moved at all. I personally find covers a pain and never use them, so if I bust a light at this price, there'll be no tears! Very impressive for the bucks and highly recommended.

These are old school lights that I installed on my Land Rover Defender. They are a perfect replacement for the old lights that rusted away. The included wiring harness made the install seamless. The night is now lit up!

sehr gute Scheinwerfer - absolut empfehlenswert

Considero que es un buen producto y vale la pena para su costo, que considero justo. Aún sigo en periodo de prueba pero alumbran muy bien, supongo que si le cambio los focos por unos más potentes alumbrarán aún mejor pero con los focos que incluye estoy satisfecho.

Brighter than expected

Best in the industry. No review necessary. Hellas are the best.

I have these on my truck pointing at the ditch to spot moose and deer. They are just as bright and throw light as far as my high beams. The wiring harness is not great so I recommend ordering an aftermarket one. They have been on my truck for half a year to this point
