Quality product as you would expect. Put on my '05 Dodge Ram. Really show up the road and are street legal, at least in MO.

Great lights I use them for fog lights on my truck

Very poor design. Bulbs mount very loosely in glass housing - seems to be missing something to secure the bulbs. No seal to protect from water intrusion into plastic light housing where wiring is. You receive a bag of parts and electrical fittings as you must wire and assemble the lights yourself – very difficult if not impossible to feed wiring through rubber housing grommet. Instructions are bad English translated from German. Sending this kit back – will never purchase another HELLA product again. I’ll spend the extra money and buy KC.

I purchased and mounted these lights on my 2006 Honda Ridgeline, and I'm completely satisfied with them. They cast a clean, white light well down the road, nicely illuminating the night well over twice the distance of the stock headlights, and reflecting back brightly on any animals, lane dots, road signs, or reflectors on the road (or on abandoned cars on the side of the road!). They do well in rain, snow, clear and overcast weather, never tossing back any objectionable reflections, or coloring things oddly. Additionally, the wiring was simple enough... I wired mine to come on automatically with the high beams, but left a loop in the wire in case I decide to make them switchable. Remember, legally you can only run driving lights with your high beams on. One picture shows my lead wire coming out of the grill a little high, but that was an error that I've since corrected, and the wires are basically invisible now.I did have to make some brackets to mount mine, as the Ridgeline has no level surfaces in the front to facilitate auxiliary lights, though mine does have the rare, optional plastic "bull bar" on the nose. I look at it like a bit of an extra cushion if I hit something - not a serious bull bar (then again, most bull bars are a joke if you look at the mountings). I bent them out of .125" by 1.25" aluminum, and painted them with a hammertone finish.One final note - these lights are a bit old school (as am I) so the light pattern definition may not be as crisp and clear as the LED headlight generation might expect, but it's totally acceptable - these lights meet DOT and European road specs. Having said that, I almost never get flashed at night if I'm running them on a properly spaced divided interstate. In fact, they have less upward light spillage than the stock headlights, as indicated in one of the pictures. I've got about 4000 on and off road miles on them so far, and I'm really glad I put them on.

I tow a gooseneck trailer back from the races every Saturday during the summer. The weight of the trailer would point my headlights into the sky. Not only could I not see on dark roads, I was blinding people driving towards me causing them to flash their light at me. I now run these as my headlights and pointed them down so when I tow they are where a Headlight should be. I use my running light setting on my regular headlight switch. It is nice not getting lights flashed at me. Although I wish they were brighter.

Good quality Hella product. However, on the very first trip in my motor home, a rock must have hit the lens, cracking it. Lenses are not replaceable. Very bright light.

Delivered as promised. Great lights. I chose these over similar lights with plastic lexan lenses because they're glass. Look fantastic on the front of my Silverado along side of the Hella Fog Lights.

I have a 1994 Ford Crown Victoria, and they work great. They are defiantly brighter than my cars headlights. Now, there was a substantial amount of assembly required for the wiring part of it, which I knew there would be, but for any beginners. I would highly recommend getting someone who knows how to wire, because the instructions are very vague. Other than that, the product is great. I bought a license plate mount off another website, that actually was intended to use with this product

Great lights BUT if you buy the clear covers as I did...BE AWARE...HELLA does not recommend their use for etended periods of time or when the weather is very cold.I installed mine with the optional clear covers on, and found that after an extended period of use the glass lenses had cracked, both lights cracked in the same manner.I reported this to the seller in USA and they helped me get warranty replacements from HELLA who made the recommendation NOT to use the HELLA clear covers sold by them...they thought that the cracks were caused by their use.

I bought two sets of these to wire on top of my FJ Cruiser. 4 Lights total. They look great, and they turn night time into day time. But really the wiring was easy. I mounted everything to a Tuffy light bar. () The set of lights comes with everything that you need. But I used the factory Toyota switches to mount my lights to so everything looks stock.
