Hella 500's:





Now, before all you *** clowns start telling me they're too big... let me clue you fucktards in on something... Not everyone lives in the ghetto jungle of some city, and not every road in America has a streetlight every 100 feet. Here in Vermont, you can drive three miles without seeing a HOUSE and upwards of 40 miles between street lights. We have turns and hills and deer and ******* moose and, well... your tiny little PIAA projector driving lights just aren't going to cut it here. Up here, you can NEVER have enough lighting. I have 100 watt bulbs for low beams, high beams and in the Hellas, and have spent probably three hours aiming my lights to get the right spread for seeing around corners, so they're not there for "rally" looks. They're wired into my high beam circuit with their own relay and 14 gauge wire from the battery to the lights. If I lived in the city, or if I only drove during the day, I wouldn't have them. Untill you've driven in Vermont at night, don't diss 'em...

I'm defensive because every time I post pics of 'em, some stump **** that thinks body kits equal performance gets on me about pretending to be a rally Civic or some ****, and I'm ******* tired of the ignorance.

As for their performance- They'll light up stop signs about two miles away, and will provide about 500- 600 yards of daylight extending about 15 yards on either side of the road. $70 from Pep Boys/ Advanced Autoparts.

can you use these in conjunction with your low beams without blinding others??

No. Well, you could, but they'd have to be aimed so low, they'd be pointing at the ground and not in front of you. They're a pencil beam, so they're meant to go really far without much diffusion (spread)...

Your low beams are the problem and not highs? Hit me up on AIM- House of Boost...
