Default Would Hella's Work

Wanted to get yalls opinion. I am wanting to add the hella lights to my truck, but i have a billit grill. i was wondering how much light would get through and would it even be worth doing...i also was wondering which would be better, the 500's or the 500FF.

you might want to do what 04_fourseven did with his. He made a quick mount that puts the lights closer to the grill instead of right on the crossmember. It's just a little tab that stucks out forwards from the crossmember. His is welded on, but you could just as easily drill a hole and bolt on a tab.

The 500's are not so spotty that they become useless on the road.

The 500s are like highbeams on crack, I love mine, visibility is out to 300 yds in total darkness.
