Default After market offroad/fog lights

I have a 2006 f150 with an aftermarket mesh grille and I want to put some lights behind it. I am running 6000k Hids in my headlights and want to do the same in the offroad lights. Anyone know of a good set of offroad lights that will take the hid bulbs, I know some people have problems with how long the bulbs is. I was looking at a set of Hella's but am open to others, I want to go with a pretty good brand and stay arround 150 or so for a pair before the hids and would prefer to go with round lights to kinda stick with the look of the 06 headlights. Thanks

I have hella 700FF's on my truck and I love them. They are about 80 bucks for a set of 2 depending on where you get them and they take H3 bulbs.

Good luck

i have the 500 with 55w 6k hids they're amazing, cheap too. One thing about the conversion though im guessing in the newer 500s they have a bulb blocker thing that isnt shown in the how to's , but all you have to do is open up some tabs and remove it close tabs.really simple.

2002vertgt thanks for thoes lights thats better than doin my own thing, then they have the warrante responsibility, but here is the set up I thing im gonna go with and just tweak where the lights are, im gonna make mine so the distance from headlight circle to offroad light to offroad light to headlight are all the same difference, if that makes sense. Equal spacing between everything

Your welcome...I like that guy. That's too much fab for me I think I'm just going to go the angle iron route. Easier for me and I have a old bed frame lying in the garage.
