Pros:
Cons:

An excellent choice for budget off-road lighting. The 500 lights come with all the wiring needed as well as a relay and a switch. I use 2 driving beams and 2 fog beams on the front of my Explorer for night off-roading adventures. They light up the path nicely. I have used them on my Explorer to light up a desert race course at night as well as for setting up camp in the dark. I also used them to replace the headlights on my off-road Jeep. The stone shields are simple and look good while protecting the lights when they are not in use.

Pros: Good light output. Nice looking light
Cons:

I had two of the 500 series fogs on my last ex. I haven't got around to switching them over yet to my new ex. They worked great and I had no complaints. They put out plenty of "close" light near the truck for the fog. I want to get some 500 series driving to match.

Pros: Nice Looking Light. Gives off perfect amount of light.
Cons: None

These lights are by far one of the best lights Hella has out there that is affordable. We sell these in our store for $48.00.

Pros: Good light
Cons: Covers crack in extreme cold

Great light, had to replace covers frequently. Taking them off in below zero and cover can crack. Happened to 3 pairs of covers. Mine were rectangular amber fog with upgraded bulb.
