Where is the best place to order these online? Amazon looks to be the cheapest but they won't ship to Canada, and the shops I have contacted locally want nearly double what I could get it for online.
stock bulbs suck but some silverstars make them 1000x better.
Make them "look" better but you don't see better.id go with the 700FF but I have had them both. I think there great. stock bulbs suck but some silverstars make them 1000x better.
what prices are you seeing? Wal-Mart sells the 500 and 500FF for $55/ea and $65/ea, respectively. i've had both and don't think they're worth even that. spend a little more and get something better.
just my $.02
What he said.Hella 500's don't have a good beam pattern. Hella 550's (rectangular) actually have a much better beam pattern.
With 130w bulbs the 500 don't do as well as the 550's with 55w bulbs.
The 500's are too shallow to have a good parabolic reflector imo.
