Default Hella 500's or Something else

Hey, I just installed my Shrockworks Stubby Front Bumper last week and need some opinions. I'm really leaning toward the Hella 500 Clear Fog Lights to replace my factory fogs. They are alot cheaper than the PIAA's and other brands. I mainly drive on the highway and think the Hella's will give me the side lighting that will help when the weathers bad. I don't want long range lights like the spots or driving lights.
Anyone with the Hella Clear Fogs please let me know if you like them or would you recommend something else.
They are half the price of the PIAA's or IPF's or Deltas, etc. They have 55watt bulbs.
Thanks

Come on, I need help on this one before I spend hard earned dollars.
Let me know what fogs you all are running. NOT DRIVING LIGHTS!

Basically, treat yourself to some Lightforce lights and buy some yellow filters for fogs. You'll then have some fogs and driving lights. God knows how bad the lighting on the JK is.

lightforces are awful high. I don't really want a driving light. I think I want a fog that will light up the sides of the road when needed. Thanks anyway.
Anyone with Hella's on here??

I used to have Hella 500 lights on my old Ranger. I personally liked them. All plastic housing so they didn't rust. I also bought clear lens covers to protect the light lens. I would recommend them.

Thumbs up for Hella 500 fog lamps. Wide beam and great for replacing factory fog lamps. Your $75 is well spent.
