Excellent lighting, fair quality construction, great value for money.
By Kia
I installed these lights on a Saab 900SE next to a set of KC Pencil Beam driving lights. While they are not the quality of the KC lights, they are nevertheless reasonable quality and VERY good value for the money.
Install was typical - no easier or harder than installing any other brand.
Light output with 55 watt bulbs is EXCELLENT with a TIGHT, LONG RANGE BEAM. Not quite as focused as the KCs - but there isn't much in it -- and the light output seems as bright as the KCs with 100 watt bulbs.
Because the housing is plastic I have not run the Hella's with 100 watt or 130 watt bulbs, I may give it a try during the winter.
For me the wiring harness was a little light -- especially since I commonly use 100 watts bulbs, but so long as you use a relay to switch the lights and keep the runs short it will be more than adequate - but I'm an "overkill" type when it comes to wiring so I replaced the harnesses with #12 Tefzel (aircraft) wire for each light and everything is relay switched with very short cable runs.
I would certainly buy them again - and will probably replace the KCs with the Hellas next time a rock takes them out. The Hella kit with two lights cost less than one replacement lens for the KC
Summary - Excellent lighting, fair quality construction, great value for money.

HELLA 500 FF Driving Lights - Very Nice
By C. Crothers
Ok, the 500FF driving lights are a good design in how it projects the light in front of the vehicle. I have been driving with Hellas in both my cars and 4x4s since 1985. They make damn good driving lights both on and off-road. I say that the 500s in stock form do a nice job in the city. However, if you do any off-roading and these are the only auxilary lights you have then I would recommend upgrading the bulbs to a 100W or 130W. Of course the modification will make them unusable in city driving.
Personally I have adopted these as fog lights with crystal ion fog bulbs from PIAA. The PIAA bulbs and Hella 500s are a perfect match and work great in snow and dense fog. I don't like the conventional fog lights because the light pattern spreads too much light above the hood which is not needed.
I have a FJ Cruiser with a grill guard where these puppies are mounted on the lower crossmember close to the ground. This is the best place for them. However, the pair of 500s are not enough to illuminate the back roads of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan where I drive at night. If you want to get excellent illumination I HIGHLY recommend the Hella Rallye 4000s with the Hella 130W optional bulbs. I have these mounted above the 500s on the top crossmember of the brush guard (same height as the factory headlights) . When you turn the 4000s on at night I will guarantee you that you will see EVERYTHING in front of the vehicle to 1/2 mile!

Great stuff, good beam pattern, lots of light
By Mike
I recently installed these on the grill guard on my '99 Suburban, and they are awesome. This mounting puts them a bit above the bumper and in the center of the truck, right in front of the grill. From this vantage point, they have a great beam pattern, with a very long tube of light that extends a long way down the road, which still having a good sturdy mount with an unobstructed view of the road, while still being somewhat protected by the grill guard assembly. They throw light a very long distance and wide enough to cover the road "down range", which is exactly what driving lights are supposed to do.
Take the time to adjust the aim properly and make sure you have a sturdy mount. Any shaking is very apparent when the light is illuminating the road 1/2+ mile away. As for aim, when using driving lights, the goal is to get the light down-range and not right in front of you. Your eyes will adjust so you can see items further out, and any bright spots on the pavement right in front of you will can become very distracting and hinder your long-range visibility. Some folks perceive this as the area immediately in front of the vehicle as being "too dark" and try to aim the lamps lower to compensate. Don't do this. Get the adjustment right so that light goes down range without illuminating the sky instead of the road. These lights are supposed to be used when you are on high beams, not for normal around town driving, so adjust them as such. I have these wired to come on with my high beams, and they work great that way. It does however, mean that the person who cuts me off and get high-beamed is in for a shock - I might give the back of their head a suntan. :-)
Be prepared for any reflective signage to be very bright when these lights are on, especially signs that are normally out of the range of your normal headlights. These lights are bright enough to really catch the reflective coatings on road signs and the signs will at first appear unnaturally bright. This is goodness because it lets you see signs very far in advance of what you normally can, but depending on the roads you drive and your specific vehicle mounting, there may be a few signs you find that are capable of reflecting a lot of light back at you, especially the yellow diamond signs found on lots of secondary roads. This is nothing wrong with the driving lights, just something I was not quite prepared for when upgrading the very low-output factory lighting on my '99 Suburban...
I used my own custom switch, relay, and wiring setup, so I can't comment on the wiring kit that comes with these lights. It looks like a reasonable wiring setup and has good instructions if you are used to doing any wiring. I just wanted a more custom install on my rig with switches that were better integrated into my dashboard and to use a custom wiring harness to drive all of my improved lighting (fog lights, driving lights, relay kit on factory headlamps, and extra back-up lights) without having a mess of wiring all over the place. For just adding one set of lights, the wiring kit that comes with these lights should be just fine.
