Price: $100.00
Pros: Cheap, nice look, bright for the price
Cons: comes with confusing wiring/crappy wiring set-up
Recommended? Yes

Comments: Bought four of these Hella 500's new in the box of craigslist for $100, came with really crappy wiring (18g) so i threw all that out and rigged it up myself with my own wiring. they work great, pretty lengthy install time (about 6 hours), mounted them to my front roof rack cross rail. If you get a decent deal on them i'd go for it, better price than the competitors.

Price: $70.00
Pros: Easy to bolt on. Looks good. Pretty bright.
Cons: PAIN IN THE A$$ to wire.
Recommended? Yes

Comments: They are pretty sweet. I just bought 4 of them to put on my roof rack. So far, I love them. Only problem is... that they are a PAIN IN THE A$$ to wire. The instructions are crap unless you're a master electrician. Then again, this WAS my first wiring job.. so that may have something to do with it. Would I recommend them? Hella yes.

Price: $60.00
Pros: Easy to set up and are pretty bright for the price
Cons: Get a cheap nock off and does the same thing
Recommended? Yes

Comments: Only reason it gets a good is because of the 55w bulbs. Anything brighter than 100w bulbs and you'll be glad you upgraded. Significant difference by doing that!

Price: $1.00
Pros: free
Cons: none
Recommended? Yes

Comments: I found these laying around my dads garage. They were attached to an old Cherokee light bar and the wires had all been ripped out. My dad was using them as a weight to hold down a sheet over a car. I soldered them up, painted up the back and put them on my Olympic Auxiliary bar. I do not know what kind of Hella light they are, but they are 7" Hellas.

Price: $75.00
Pros: Look great, Very bright!
Cons: Nothing about the product itself, just ish I could use them more often!
Recommended? Yes

Comments: I have a White Jeep so these lights with the white light covers look awesome! I have them mounted in between my mirrors and my windshield which I think is different from the usual bumper mount and makes them stand out a lot more.

Price: $69.99
Pros: Cheap and easy to install
Cons: wish they came with stone gaurds.
Recommended? Yes

Comments: I picked these up at my local checker for a pretty good price. They came with a wiring kit and instructions. The instructions said to tie them into your brights wire but i just ran it off its own switch. They are a lot brighter than my brights and I may just buy another set.

Price: $40.00
Pros: Bright, inexpensive
Cons: Larger diameter
Recommended? Yes

Comments: Bought the set used with Hella plastic covers. Wired into my factory fog circuit and they work very well. Really light up the night at a distance. They are larger diameter so you have to have a good sturdy place to mount them but they look good and much better than square lights.
