i want to see how does it improve the visibility.

i put these in the other day too and they are pretty bright. you can tell a huge difference with them on/off over the lowbeams and even with the hibeams on. i didnt wire mine according to the guide that came with them. i tapped into the parking lights instead of the hibeam so i can switch them anytime any of the lights are on. i have to aim mine down so they arent blinding anyone. its a cheap mod ( i paid $55 for the hella 500s from walmart) worth every penny.......

i just put some in too and was happier with it than i thought i would be , but i wired mine up direct so i dont need my lights on to turn them on.
and yes the right one is off center cause i guess i have a crooked eye or somthing. gotta get a new drill mine shot craps on me.

I am wiring my Hellas (HID bulbs) , the fog lights (HID bulbs) and the low beam HIDS all to the Hi beam switch so it all lights up on hi beam and only the low beams on low ,so I don't pi** everyone off with the extra lights. I don't want to be looking for switches every time a car comes around the corner. Here you are only allowed to have one set of lights on at any one time. Even headlights and fogs will get you pulled over.
