Hella Rallye 4000's

[Hotsauce]

Due to a little parking lot incident where the gross neglence of the attendant caused the damage of my push bar and aftermarket lights, both have been replaced. On their tab.

The replacement safari bar came from Tone of course. The new lights are from Hella.

They have a 1 meter high tension lead from the light to the ballast.

I wanted to put the lights as high as legally possible(below headlight level) So I had to drill 2 new holes in the top of the safari bar. Easily done. http://www.vehicross.info/gallery/data/515/thumbs/Rallye_4000_Installed.JPG (http://www.vehicross.info/gallery/data/515/Rallye_4000_Installed.JPG)

I mounted the new ballast next to the ballast for the HID H4 high/lo conversion.

The beam from these is rediculous. You can actually see the beam in daylight, the pattern is that sharp. I'll post some light patterns once I get a chance to aim these.

sweet nice setup, what was the bill for the lights?

OK, heres some light patterns. All pictures were taken with the camera in 'dummy' mode. The green light color you see in the pictures is an artifact of the camera, the light is actually very white, no blue or green at all.

First, no lights on, just to show the test conditions.

Now, just the headlights.These have high/low HID H4 conversion.

Now, just the Hella Rallye 4000's.

Finally, both on together.

You can see the nice flat cutoff of the Hella pattern. If you haven't guessed, these are WAY too bright to use with other cars in sight.

These lights are sold EACH, not in pairs. Including shipping, I paid $1025 for the pair. They are extremely hard to find in the US, and I had to have them shipped in from Europe.
