Light choices

LonghornTaco · 11-03-2008, 06:10 PM

Thinking of replacing my brush guard and lights. So, what are the best lights? Differences?

I'm a PIAA fan!

LonghornTaco · 11-03-2008, 07:58 PM

I currently have four Hella 500FFs and I'm not happy with their light output. Just don't seem bright enough for four lights...

The Hellas definitely have a better price point, but I'm just not happy with the light output. And maybe it's just the ones I bought, but just not as bright as I'd like.
