    Has anyone that ordered the Hellas from rally lights received any update after them being out of stock? I haven’t yet and was just curious if anyone else has. Thanks.

    I ordered 4 last Wednesday and received an email saying they were out of stock, would order straight from hella and send me tracking info. I haven’t heard anything since then. I might shoot rally an email and see what the status is.

    No I haven't gotten the email that others are saying they got and I also have not gotten the bulbs yet. Last I checked my order just says pending on their site.

    What are your impressions of the GE 130 in the T4R?

    Same here still. I did email them back and they said they still have not shipped out of Hella. That was yesterday I think.

    I heard back from Rally Lights. Hella has my order and I should have tracking tomorrow. No worries, just wanted to be sure things were moving along.

    I installed the Vosla H11's in my fogs today. They aren't quite as white as i had hoped but they do look brighter than the stock bulbs in the garage. I'm looking forward to seeing the output on a dark road.

    Why are some of you choosing the Vosla H11 over the GE?

    For those that want to color match the fogs to Hella Osram Hyper H9s. The GEs are a little whiter.

    Haven't tried them yet. It's been too cold for me to put them in.

    I put them in my T4R and it seems like the cut off line is slightly higher. Could be a figment of my imagination due to the increased brightness. Not completely sure.

    A simple adjustment will take care of that.
