    Why not go with Hellas. They cost less. 400 bucks for a set of PIAA 550's?

    http://www.autoanything.com/lights/69A1336A0A0.aspx

    These are probably just fine for what you are looking to do, and the great part is, they only cost 109 bucks. The cheapest I've ever seen teh PIAAs is around 340. Hell, for about 100 more, you could get a set of those Hella HID foglamps.

    Also, you can get Hella 500's at Checker. They are usually in stock.

    Hella 500s are great and cheap if you want fog patterns. They will also sit nice and tidy in the bumper cover. In driving light pattern, they're still pretty good, but...

    The Hella FF1000 is better driving light, and can be had for about $100 for a pair with wiring harness shipped from http://www.rallylights.com They won't sit completely flush, but will fit in the space.

    If you want a really focused beam of light, the Hella FF1000 pencil beam pattern is the way to go, they're about $200 shipped from rallylights.com, or I will sell you a pair new in box for $130 picked up in Minneapolis.

    Look closer at those auctions. They are for single lamps. It would be more like $400 to get 4 of them.

    The driving beams can be gotten 2 for $90+shipping from rallylights.com

    The pencil beams they're selling for $95 are the exact same ones I'm selling for $65.

    So you could have those lights for like $230, but not from eBay.

    I've been keeping a close eye on what these things are selling for on eBay, as whatever is left of my stock (currently 8 lights, but 2 are probably sold once I figure out shipping to Canada) is going up there in a week or so. I'll be asking more there than here.

    Generally, it's hard to beat rallylights.com on price for Hellas. The only reason I can is sheer luck and it's a one time thing.

    I only have the pencil beams for sale. Otherwise I wouldn't even suggest rallylights.com for the driving pattern ;)

    Nope, got a RallyCross in Cannon Falls this weekend.

    I'm just off of 35W in South Minneapolis, so it's easy to get here, and I'm available most any time if I know a day or so ahead.

    When did we work out a deal with Susquehanna? Would have been handy when I got my rally computer from them.
