I love my Hella 500's. I have two sets on the front bumper, $60 a set 55Watt H3 bulbs. Great bang for the buck and can get at walmart too. You can always add HD wiring and some 100 or 130 watt bulbs too.

X2 I have two pairs of these on my front bumper and they serve their purpose very well. And both pairs cost like 30-40 bucks combined! Can't beat that, lol!

See this was my point, Spend $130 plus on KC slimlites and hit them on a tree and wack theres a load of cash. Put them on the bumper and put cheapos on the roof so when you hit sumtin (cause it will happen) its not a big deal.

I have a surco rack and i mounted 4 Bajas on my roof. We had and ice storm earlier this winter an di went around a curve and there was a huge tree branch down across the yellow lines and covering the road, I had no time to react and hit it at 25 to 3o mph. Everythign survived and all that happened to my bajas on the roof was they bent over and i just moved them back later. My old Piaa 520s i had on the front wound up with cracked rock guards. $20 lights survived better than $300 lights. Glad i only paid $50 for those PIAAs used.

So your saying, that cheaper ones would be better for the front bumper, just in case I hit something.
