Default What Hellas should i get?

Hella Optilux 1900 Series Chrome Driving Lamps Kit or the Hella 500? I've seen the 500's on rams and they look great behind the grill and thats what i'm going for, will the 1900's work? Have any of you guys used them behind the grill can you show me pics? Any 2cents will help

I have the Hella 500's and I like the way they look behind the grill.

Will this affect cooling in any way. I'm thinking a hot day, towing etc.

I have never had a problem with cooling having the lights behind the grill.

no, two driving lights will not hamper your cooling. A belt pulling your fan will hamper your cooling though
