my next mod is going to be placing 4 hellas behind the grill on my 04 dodge ram.

where is the cheapest place to purchase them?

also, what all should i purchase along with the hellas to make the install and performance of the lights be top notch? different switches,wires?

 

ebay was the cheapest i found by far. comes with everything you need.

 

sorry i didnt ask this in the original post but whats the best model hella 500 to get?

 

im pretty sure wal mart sells them but i really don't know if they are good quality or not but i do know they sell them, not sure as to what type is the best we'll have to wait for someone else who has 'em to chime in

 

yea i work for em, and wont buy anything other than food from walmart after seeing the way stuff gets unloaded.

 

eBay has the lowest price that I have seen, 39.99 with free shipping. The wiring it comes with is fine if you run them the way they come but if you upgrade to brighter bulbs you will want to increase the gauge wire you use too.

 

simple enough to wire them?

 

Very simple to wire, just make sure you use a relay and don't wire them directly to the battery. That is not safe.

 

I'm not sure how i feel about that. i've wired stuff to the battery before with no problems. but it isn't the smartest idea. the lights do have a fused switch, so what's so bad?

 

I had a fused switch melt on me once? Does that answer your Q? With a relay the contacts you would use are N.O. so there is no power going through it which protects you. A switch is rated at what, 15 amps? A relay is 30/40 amps.
