The Hellas are affordable and put out pretty good light, got them on my brushguard. But the lenses cracked on me, and my dads Hella 500 lenses cracked also. Not happy about that. I'm replacing them with Lightforce here soon.

If you do go Hella 500's, I suggest you get the clear covers to avoid them being cracked from rocks etc.

I dont really want to spend more than $200. I looked at the lightforce and they seemed pretty nice. Do you know anything about these?

No PIAA 580's :) or 520's yeah the light force are bad ass I couldnt find a retailer when I bought my lights they are all plastic so they wont crack when you hit water nd if im not mistake they are made of lexan or atleast the lenses are and with a turn of the bezel you can go from spot to flood illiminating the need for separate lighting lenses " fog, driving, euro"

I just set up Hella 500's. They were $69 at PepBoys and are really bright. I have yet to figure out if I will be able to squeak these by the car inspector without jumping them to my highbeams.

Did you get the driving beamns or the fog beams?

BTW, have you started on your SAS yet?

I just got 4 KCs for my ARB winch bumper. The lights are bright, but I wasn't too impressed with the wire harnesses. If I did it again I would just make my own harnesses.
