Hi guys fun question
I'm adding a set of hella 500s to the subie but am not sure of which bulb option to go with.
Stock 55w h3 @ 1450 lumens
100w h3 @ 2200 lumens
35w h3c hid @ 3200 lumens
55w h3c hid @ 4700 lumens
Does anyone have experience with these lights & bulb options?
I know that it is not just light output but beam pattern / placement are also important. (That and hid options can be grossly overvalued / inconsistent)
The wiring will be upgraded to 12 gauge from battery through ground so no worries on melting here. The switch will only become available when the highs are on so I will be only blinding bambi & not other drivers.
I look forward to any stories you might have
