Hella 500's

[kreitz3]

My passenger side OEM fog light is cracked all of the way across, so it's time to get some Hella 500's. I am going to put these in the factory fog location with the bracket sold at www.rallylights.com but I can't decide between fog or driving pattern. I will probably go with the fog pattern since I plan on adding a light bar with two Hella FF1000's. What do y'all think?

Id be interested to see how those hella 500's look in those fog pods..

stick with the fog pattern. I don't know what the 'drive pattern' looks for the Hella's....but for my KC lights, the regular 'driving beam' is really bright....more like hi-beams, and I can't use them in real fog (In NorCal, we actually get a lot of fog).

anyway, since you're getting a light bar anyway, that's my .02.

fogs are great. I have the amber 500's in the stock location.

driving beams are meant only to be used when your high-beams are on and are more of a finely focused long range beam (rather than the short and wide beam of the fogs). the website you listed has some good diagrams to explain the differences in beams.

one things for sure, youll be able to see all kinds of stuff in front of you in the dark!

Id opt for the fogs...

Fogs it is. Now should i get clear or amber. I know the amber makes it easier to see in the snow, they're amber. lol. I like the looks of the clear ones better.

if youre any good at photoshop, photoshop the different ones on to your car, thats what I did.

these are not the photoshop ones, these are the actual hella's

The yellow ones are pretty damn cool, but i know i would probably buy the clear ones.

[kreitz3]

The more I think about it, the more I think the yellow would be sexy on a white car.

[BlueRu]

Personally I would go with the clear ones. I just like the "cleanness" of them.

[I Like It Sideways]

I think yellow would look amazing. But I'd still get the clear ones....
oh wait... I did...

we can try them out on your car if you'd like!
they are the driving pattern though.

Fogs are meant to be amber/yellow

White fogs, FTW ! ... but turn them at an angle so they are "cornering lights". :mrgreen:

Maybe the ones on the hood/grill can be the "pencil beam" / high beams ...


*EDIT* Do they make the brackets for my car ?

[I Like It Sideways]

Pencil beams in the grille, y0

I need cornering lights
Kyle, are you going to get a set? I think it would be well worth the investment. These are amazing for the money.

[fattie92]

i just angle my 500's for cornering lights.
