I have three options on how to run my lights...Which do we like best???

Another option is to buy different lights than Hella 500's for my windshield lights...

I like the three lights across the front. It looks clean and would throw a nice spread in front of the Jeep without restricting your view.

I'm torn between the first two too. I'm leaning toward the windsheild lights but i dont know if i like the look of the hella's. and the three in the front actually look better than i thought but if i go that route i'm going to have an extra light to do nothing with...decisions decisions

Just curious will the set up with 3 across the front still allow enough air flow???

thats a great question, didnt really give that a thought to be honest. i have the grill mod too (not that i think that holds back much air). Is anybody running the 3 lights in front? how you had any overheating issues?

I'm running that exact same set-up and never had any problems. I did find that having the three really lets you spread the light far and wide. I have one aimed straight down the middle and one aimed at the shoulder of each side of the road about 50 yds out in front of the Jeep.

I have an extra because I broke one off and ordered another pair.

Having a back up isn't bad!
