I like the smoked taillights and I am using some, smoked turn signals in the bumpers and some smoked head lights fromthis site . I like the look, but I dont know how well the beam is they also have some clear ones that you might like.

Holy crud!

Those tail lights are pretty steep! $189.00?
What's the difference between those:

and these:

(not manufactured by hella so:$28.50 a pair)

and these:

?????

Also, Do you need to have the metal backing from the original lights?

I'm wondering if it isn't a good idea to use them on the elephant style since my bubble/ flats came w/ a plastic backing.

Need to know before I spend the dough...heheh

I made a rhyme!

need more info...

So what exactly is the dif between a hella and an h4?

h1, h2, h3. h4 ...are they all dif lumens ratings or colors?
Does it have to do w/ output or wattage?
Or is it just a brand name or style?
Are the materials better?

Hella brand is OEM. The glass tends to be more clear with crisper flutes for better beam distribution. The Hella tail lights are way better than others, but you'll pay for it. I got mine at OEVeeDub. Call and they'll swap a set of smoked lenses with the housings.

My Hella 911 lenses with modified H4's behind:


My Hella smoked elephant feet:


H4 is a halogen replacable bulb. You can get different wattages of H4. Make sure your wiring is beefy and in good shape if you go with the 100W bulbs or else risk fire. Blimp has the Hella H4 assembly. Call for bulbs.
