    hella lights generally are relatively slim. there are a bunch of people who have them behind grilles, including the black magic 500.

    and are way better lights to boot.

    hella develops lighting, KC merely sources it.

    heck yeah.

    all 4 of these are the original OE 55w hella bulbs...two 500s and two 700s.

    the headlights are e-code conversions with their high performance h4.
