Smokin Deal on Hella 500's from Amazon.com

[craig333]

They don't have near the range of my lightforce 170s even with the 100w bulbs I put in that I just happened to have sitting around, but fill in the pattern nicely.

P.S. I wire up all my lights to the truck high beams. Its way to slow to try and dim them otherwise if someones coming around a corner. Trucks highs are so crappy you can't even tell they're on when these lights are on.

The IPF's are definitely better than the hellas in quality. The hella's, well; you can tell it's only a $40 light. On my '92 I have the IPF 968's and the Hella 500's and the light output is great. Just the IPF's alone I'm not impressed with, and just the Hellas alone I'm not impressed with, but pair the two together, and they have a good light output.

I have two paris of Hella 500s that are new but the boxes were opened sitting on the shelf in the garage. I'm not going to use them. $40/pair plus actual shipping (no box charges or silliness, you pay what I pay).

Damn you guys are quick

Mmmm, any more lights floating around in people's garages??? I'd like a set of good lights for my WAAG grille guard, at least 6" diameters... preferably 9"....

 

[ginericLC]

ARGHHH! My reply didn't make it. Walmart has 500s for about $60 and the FF 500s for about $80. Personally I'd but the IPF 968s at Costco for $89.99 including shipping but not tax. http://www.costco.com/Browse/Produc...=1&Ntx=mode+matchallpartial&Nty=1&topnav=&s=1

 

[ChrisInVT]

Yeah, the IPFs are definitely worth it.

chris go to your local checker/kragen/csk mine has them for $34 a pair right now, they are normally $50 at my local store, always have been.

i bought my first set of hella 500's at least 9 yrs ago, they are still working and doing just fine, well worth the $50 i paid back then.

 

[gordinho80]

just got back from local walmart.... they had the 500 driving lights for 60, and the 500FF driving lights for 65... I was going to get a set of the FFs, but they only had 1 in stock and one of the lenses was was cracked... will have to check out another walmart....

Unfortuinately, I don't think we have any of those stores in this state. On the slight chance that we do, they'll probably be on the other side of the state
