    Just piced up 4 hella 700FF's. Can't wait to install them and try them out. The price was great at 116cdn for a set containing all the wiring, switch, fuse's, rely, brackets, etc.

    I agree. I only have 140s (so far) but the interchangeable covers make it easy! I want a set of 240s now.

    Light Force Covers - their video on uTube shows a shotgun blast - I hate seeing cracked lenses

    What about the Kragen HID's - I see a number of people running these. I think they are something like $139 for a 7" HID! Sounds like a SMOKIN' Deal to me!

    You don't need to pee on them! Unless you have really dark pee and you're lookin for amber fogs.

    Pretty cool - change from a 'driving light' to a 'flood light' - even a infrared - I want to know a TW member who runs those! Let's see your goggles!

    They are nice. My money went to Light Force (used at about 50% off) but those Kragen's look like the best bang, I mean light for your dollar!

    My friend had the 500 with a HID conversion they worked great, they over powerd the taco lights when the hi beam and fogs were on. but since the 500 are so small i decided to convert Hella 700 to HIDs.

    I too am looking to put on some new lights. I had 4 Hella 500's and am looking at a nfab light bar and 4 Hella 700FF lights. Would love the Lightforce, but the price on the Strikers is like $205 for two lights and no harness. I only have a budget of about $400 for everything.

    I got four hella 700FF for about $400. That included eveything you need. Switches, relays, wires, and fuses. The light output isn't admazing though, probably the same as your 500's.

    4 Wheel Parts started carrying Lightforces. They have the 240 Blitzs for $250 a pair. That is a great price! I may have to order a pair by spring.
