yeah for off road I would get the plain clear glass round 500s, but get the kit with the relays, etc. It's cheap as dirt on amazon right now anyways..

that was the best price I found on them while I was looking.

I went with some hella 6" optilux 1900 pencil beams over the 500s simply because they have an all metal construction. They were about the same price. I haven't had a chance to get them installed yet so that I can review them- no one else has them that I know of. Here are the ones I bought:

They will look good on the chrome bumper if nothing else lol.
