You could but you need to wire them to a switch. I don't think you want the hellas to come on everytime you turn on your headlights or fogs on.

 

I have my 130 Watt Dick Cepek lights wired to the fog light switch. I almost never use the fogs except when I'm off road in the low country and am watching for stumps and cypress knees at night. So I would use them both at the same time anyway.

Used a 40A relay and just wired the post that would go to a switch to the post for the switch on the stock fog relay. Thisaway, the fog light switch kicks both on, but the power for the 130 watt lights come from their own relay (you'd blow the fog light one pulling that many amps).

You CAN however wire the Hellas up to the fog relay completely if you want to, PROVIDED you leave them at there stock 55 watts. Going to a 100 watt bulb would put the amperage beyond what the fog relay can do...

 

I like the look of 4 lights behind the Grill, so I want to go with 2 hooked to Foggers and 2 hooked to Hi-Beams.

 

I've seen 1 truck on this Forum running 4 grill lights.

anyone else running 4, and can you post a pic?

 

I got my hellas on ebay for cheap, then used an aluminum bar about 1/4" thick to mount behind the grille. Had help from my dad to run the wires into the cab, finished it off with a light-up rocker switch that came with the kit. Installed wire loom to clean up the engine bay. Wired them up to only work when High Beams are off; still having difficulty aiming them--one hits cars dead center in the windshield, other is angled into the ditch (where I wanted it). Good investment, especially with deer running around at night/dusk. Im thinking about moving to in front of the grille though, to get a better alignment of light beams.

 

I'm on the hunt. I'm going 4 and it's gonna be stellar!!!

 

My WallyWorld does not carry Hellas in the store and I can't find them on walmart.com.

I can't find them for less than $65 - $75, anywhere else.

 

not to thread jack but where are yall buying new bulbs or higher wattage bulbs?....for the hellas

 

I re-wired four Hella 500s I put on a buddies Cheby Z71 and bought the 100 watt bulbs at Autozone for $8 and change a two pack.

If going to the 100 watt bulbs you really need to consider re-wiring the lights, and I mean all the way to the inside connections. The stock gauge wiring is only made for the amp draw of the 55 watt bulbs.

Dirtydog did a good DIY on this...

 

ill have to look but my wire seemed pretty thick ill have to see what gauge it is, but i would def rewire if i go brighter i know better...i seen to many wires melt in my days...
