Would probably look good for extra driving lights mounted in front radiator opening, but for regular headlights? Ricer comes to mine. My opinion.

PIAA has a simlar light called ProXT Offroad Rally lights for less, and you can get 130w bulbs for(not street legal in the states)

I had them on my old conquest (Old-School American Ricer [img]tongue.gif[/img] )and got a warning ticket from a trooper during the day bacause he said they blinded him So I had them turned up a lil....ooops

vpr-klr,

checked out the piaa lights, they have some nice stuff. that particular series you had suggested is not quiet the same (at least from what i can tell). the reason i thought the hella lights would be sharp looking is the fact that in the day the lights look black.

at any rate, thank you for the suggestion!!

True, no black look with PIAA, cept anyone caught looking at the PIAAs when they are flipped on will see black dots for an hour

NFS,

i would be curios to see what you can get these lamps for? I have an account with LightHouse, these are special order, and they said like 216.80 or something. I thought it was way high, so a second opinion would be great!!

$159 retail vs. $216? Maybe he needs to try a different wholesaler. If he wants to get better wholesale prices, send me an e-mail.
