I also like the Hellas over the other aftermarket lights (except for maybe something like KC) because of their beam pattern. Super nice cutoff and it's not as blinding to other drivers with the fog beam pattern.
I just bought these to replace the broken ones on my 98. Like you I thought it was a solid deal and they are a little bigger than the factory ones. They will not fit on the same bracket the factory ones were mounted on. The mounting point is on the bottom vs the back like the OEMs and the additional size makes it impossible.
I noticed only one foglight was lighting up. Went out and checked it and saw that the right side foglight has a hole in it, and is partially filled with water. An unfortunate end to the Hella lights.
I had Hella 500 fog and driving lights on my Jeep. Good bang for the buck.
the Hella's work fine. Since I rarely drive with the fog lights on (only when it's raining at night). they do its job just fine.
I have Hella 500 fogs and installed them with the quad light bracket. I spliced mine into the factory fogs so one switch inside turns on all of them. It also meant that I didn't need to drill any holes in my firewall. I recommend it. It's relatively easy to do, and relatively inexpensive as well. You will need to cut the factory grill, though.
My F150. Foglights are now Hella Super Yellows and Headlights are Stage 2 Hella Arctic White.
I set out to install HID's in my Hella Micro DE fog lights, which use a H3 bulb. If you've ever installed a \"drop-in HID kit,\" you'll know it's not quite that straightforward because the rear end of HID bulbs is much longer than a standard Halogen bulb.
when i bought the GLI the fogs came with it, but one was busted. hella wants like 50 bucks for a replacement lens, or 65 for a new full set. guess which i bought the hellas come with the rockshields, which are GREAT.
i put in 100watt bulbs in my brand new hella smoked fogs, melted in 5 hours
