Price: $70.00
Pros: Very bright Light up the road Easily installed
Cons: No cons yet
Recommended? Yes

Comments: I bought these hellas to put on my front bumper cause it has for places to mount them. i put them in front of my grille so they are the same level as my headlights. They dont really restrict any air from getting to the radiator i have not had overheating problems. Knock on Wood. I would recommend these 100 percent

Price: $80.00
Pros: Put out alot of light for 55 watts. Durable construction. Due to 55 watt rating you have the ability to use factory wiring ( replacing factory fog lights).
Cons: Could use more adjustability.
Recommended? Yes

Comments: I purchased a set of each: Fog lights and driving lights. The driving lights are blidingly bright, but if I had to do it again I would have purchased two sets of fogs. I have the driving lights mounted on windshield mounts and the fogs mounted on my front bumper. The driving lights produce an extremely bright narrow beam that reaches way out in front of you and would be great for high speed night driving, but I don't do high speed. The fogs put off a more subtle light that helps broaden the path of light directly in front of the jeep and really help to see in fog and rain as well as helping to avoid otherwise unseen obstacles when off roading at slow speeds at night. If these lights had better adjustability/ aimabilty I would by another set of fogs to replace the driving lights, but I'd want to be able to aim them down almost aiming at the ground behind the front wheels, but their current mounting design prevents that from happening. You cannot aim them down very far at all.

Price: $70.00
Pros: Good Styling, Lots of focused light output.
Cons: Low mount keeps plastic cover from mounting over lenses properly. Had to shim with washers. Also, there is no protective flex shield over wires coming out the back.
Recommended? No

Comments: Excellent value for the money. Don't understand the silver mounts with a black housing. The housing is "slippery" and tightening the lamps without them slipping out of adjustment is frustrating. The slightest bump and they are out of alignment again. Bad design. Should have detents that lock at each slight angle.

Nice, long focused beam though. Still a good purchase, I guess but wouldn't do it again.

Price: $60.00
Pros: Inexpensive, easy to install
Cons: Some prefer a non-plastic housing. Do not adjust to point downwards, only level and upwards (plan accordingly).
Recommended? Yes

Comments: 500FF's shine a tunnel of light ahead of my Jeep. Would definitely do again.

Price: $100.00
Pros: They light up the world
Cons: Lense crack when going through deep puddles
Recommended? Yes

Comments: I really liked these lights when I first put them on my TJ. Then both lense crack with no sign of being hit by a stone. Hella eneded up replacing them twice.
One night coming out the other side of a pubble so deep it washed over the top of the windshield I noticed one of the lights was out. My conclusion is the bulb is so close to the lens that it gets so hot that dousing it with that much water caused the lens to crack. I mounted my lights on the bumper just to the outside of the headlights. Maybe if they were mounted inboard of the headlights, they might servive the water, but I wouldn't count on it.

Comments: I was given a pair of these off of a friend's volkswagon. They sat in the garage for a few years before I finally stumbled upon them. I replaced the stock 50W bulbs with 100W. They are a great addition and are perfect for night wheelin.

Pros: Solid construction, wide and low beam pattern. Classic Hella look. Inexpensive
Cons: Undersized factory harness (for 100w bulbs)

With a custom 12ga harness and 100w Yellowstar bulbs, the Hella 500s really light the way!
