How do you like the lights? Hella 500ff
I installed these lights about 2 weeks ago and I love them. They put out a lot of light but I want more! Would it be bad if I put 2 lights in-between these two? I want to put two more 500ff's and they would fit but I'm worried about it restricting the airflow

You can add two more, or pull the 55 watt bulbs and replace them with a couple H3 100 watt bulbs (about $5 each at any auto parts store), a lot easier and only 10 watts less total light output. Just make sure the wiring, fuses and relay are up to about a 17 AMP draw as oppose the the approximate 9 AMP draw you have now...
Oh and I fixed your pics too, you can thank me later... LOL...

well those are the "driving lights" and I would think the "fog" light versions would be a nice compliment. Thats a good idea though, I will consider that or put hid's in them. So no one thinks it will cause a heat issue?


Nah, the 55 watt Hellas don't generate much heat at all. Funny thing is the 100 watt bulbs aren't much hotter but you put another brand of 100w lights behind the grill and they get HOT. Dunno what Hella does.
At 55 watts x 4, you'll only pull about 18 AMPs, so you can run them off the same relay if it's a standard 30 or 40A one. I'd just go 25A on any fuses if you do wire them all together. I've setup four Hella 500s on a couple of Jeeps for friends and had no problem running them all together and off one $5 relay. It's when you get up into multiple sets of 100W or greater lights you gotta start daisy chaining relays for one switch to work them all...

I just installed the hella 500 fog lights amazing. bought the driving lights at the same time gatta weld a bracket on the gaurd to put them on yet. probably ganna upgrade to HID on both pairs upgrade the headlights and put actual fog lights in the stock spot just for $hits and giggles.
