Well i made myself a new light bar. Its looks kind of like a small bull bar right now. But the real question i have is should i go with clear or amber hella 500s?

I did some photo shopping to show you what it would look like.

If your looking for visability during darkness go with clear.

If your looking for FOG light characteristics then go with yellow.

IMHO stay the hell away from yellow beams for driving lights.. The entire concept of YELLOW light is to allow better visibility during fog since white light on white fog is pointless.

(I ended up breaking a yellow one, and threw it in the middle, all are 500 driving lamps on the light bar)

I almost think if you want driving lamps, you should mount them higher...

But that's a minor critique. I'd agree with everyone else about the clear though.

I haven't finalized my plans yet so i can move them higher if necessary.

Thanks for the input everyone.

right, I think he just wants to know what the smaller lights are (make/model).

Oh OK they are just some off brand lights from wall mart with some 100 watt bulbs.
