Finally got some hellas

Well yesterday I was a little bored and decided to go pick up some hellas and mount them behind my grille. I think they came out really good and I love em!... Ill get some more pics up tomorow. Its a very cheap and simple mod to do

if they are the hella 500's, they have a very direct beam of light. Mounting them up perfectly centered in the honeycomb and your should be good to go. The heat is what id wonder about..

That reminds me! I need to get some more lights for up front. Money is not exactly going to the truck right now since I am at college. Maybe next summer or something I will put some more lights on the front

How did you wire them up? Do they come on with the regular lights, or with the fogs?

They come on by them selves when I flip the switch. My little fog lights I wired in with my stock fog lights so all 4 come on at once. I didnt want my hellas to be on all of the time when my other fogs are on
