    Shipping will be USPS flat rate large box for $14.95. All of the lights except for the 9" will fit that box. We are still determining shipping for the 9" so it will be the same for all member regardless of location

    Two quick questions before I place my order...Whats the difference between the 700 and 500 hellas? I cant figure it out.

    And is there anyway to buy just three lights? Like a set of one and then a single of another or is buying for the only way?

    Thanks.

    the 500 will shoot further, and the 700 is broader

    K one more and ill stop cluttering the thread.

    IF the 700 is broader, do you think just a single one would be enough as a decent hid fog to cover the mojority of the road? Or will I need two to be safe?

    Thanks again.

    Opinion?

    Lol why isn't anyone buying the 9" lights? I'm thinkin' about pulling the plug on those.

    OP, if we get over 35 buyers, could an extra discount be had? Maybe another 5%? Or maybe even with the 30+ buyers we have?

    Is the difference in the lens on these photos the difference between the fog and spot patterns?
