Default Yes, pictures of my hellas now

Ok, the moment you have all been waiting for, as if youve never seen Hellas before... haha

A quick rundown...

Upgraded to 14 gauge wire to allow for higher wattage bulbs, installed an in line fuse, and upgraded to a 30A rocker switch. My final wiring goes as follows; battery to fuse, fuse to switch, grounded switch to grounded lights. They work beautifully.

heres a couple pics now.

Pictures of the new bulbs, not in yet... obviously

new switch is on the left, and the right is a dummy. While i had the dash apart i decided to install my other switch to eliminate some hassle if i decided to install something else

The only thing I will change is MAYBE the in line fuse. Dont think I like that style, and Im going to wire loom everything. I have the loom, just havent done it yet. Thanks for looking guys!!!

No, I'm just wondering why everyone here exclusively runs Hella as if they're sponsored.

IMO, there's a lot better out there than Wal-mart specials.

You can buy Hella's at Walmart now.

They're nice lights don't get me wrong, I was just curious why everyone here uses only Hella.

There's no PIAA or KC to be found anywhere on here.
