Default Lightforce or hella?

I do not want HID lights.
I just want some user opinions of Hella
700ff or lightforce 170.
I'm changing my stock bumper to a tube bumper with light mount tabs. I'll be loosing my stock fogs.
Thanks in advance.

very similar situation here as well....just bought some Lightforce 170's from another forum member and will be picking them up next week.....from my research i don't think you would be disappointed with the Lightforce.

If I were to pick lights again, I'd go with Lightforce. Their lights are strong as hell and with interchangeable lenses for different applications, it can't get much better and their customer service is top notch.

I got a good deal on some slightly used Light Force 170s with the clear covers and a set of combo lenses. I am also going to buy some 140s with a lower watt bulb and some wide lenses for fog lights.

I dont know about the 700ff, but I have 2 set of 500 on my bumper. I set is driving lights and the other set is the fog lights. To me they are impressive and give off a good amount of light. I would order again when it comes time to replace.

Lightforce is the way to go and now that the prices have come down you can usually get a set for what it used to cost for a single.

Id suggest going with the lightforce brand. I currently have 4 hella 700ffs on my bumper and 2 500ffs on my windshield. My dads Jeep has the same setup minus 2 of the 700ffs on the bumper. They are awesome, but lightforce lights are a bit nicer when it comes to brightness, durability, etc.
