Price: $76.00 Pros: Good price Cons: Kinda wimpy looking Recommended? Yes
Comments: Bought these mainly because of price, but also reputation. Just wish that the housing looked a little more beefy.
But again, dollar for dollar... they don't look as cheesey as some of the other fogs out there

Price: $60.00 Pros: Excellent fog lights, very bright, not a bad price Cons: Had to weld the brackets to my bumper, the nuts kept loosening themselves while driving over bumps, roots, and potholes. Recommended? Yes
Comments: Very easy install, great fog/driving lights. I welded mine to the bumper and installed a switch right next to the E-brake lever, very convenient. A crucial lighting upgrade in my opinion.

Price: $73.00 Pros: Good reputation, price, light output, DOT approved street legal Cons: plastic housing Recommended? Yes
Comments: I have 2 of the Hella 500 driving lights installed on a Safari bar. The light output from them is really good and focused. I like that they are DOT approved with 55w bulbs so I can use them to help supplement the less than stellar stock headlights. The price is really good and installation was straight forward and easy.

Price: $70.00 Pros: easy install, you can get piece parts if the break Cons: all plastic Recommended? Yes
Comments: The lighting on these whether the fog or driving are nice, install is a breeze and the directions are spot on. I wired directly to the battery instead of the headlights so i could use at my leasure without worrying about the brights turning them off. The only con is its all thin plastic but if they break there cheap to repair.

Price: $35.00 Pros: cheap and came with all wiringing. Cons: The Switch included in the kit looked lame and cheap. Recommended? Yes
Comments: I got all the wiring and relay installed and then had to come up with a good way to mount switch. While poking around on the net I found the fog light switch for a 97-2002 for Omix-ada. It looked like it would fit in the one blank spot I had in the center console. A little requiring and modification to the unused Overdrive plug (my TJ has manual) and it all fit. Switch blend right in and if you didn't know better you would think it belonged there...

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.
