Inexpensive Hella Lights

[Bear Chow]

I have deer problems and I bumped yet another one, but didn't do any damage. So I stopped at Walmart to find a pair of driving lights to help lighten my way. Apparently Walmart and Hella are not on speaking terms and I found some discontinued Hella 500FF marked down from $60 to $45.

I went to the self check out and was pleasantly surprised when they rang up for $10.00. Being the morally just person I am I asked the lady she scanned it again, like that was going to make a difference, and then told me, "yep ten bucks." So I went back and picked up the other two sets on the shelf. I feel no guilt I gave them a chance.

If you need some inexpensive driving lights. Go to Walmart and look to see if they have either the Hella 500 or Hella 500FF lights marked with a red label for $45. Scan it on one of those instore scanny things and it will confirm they are darn near free.


Now I'll see them horned bastards even in the dark.

I'm actually less of a **** then most. I only grabbed three sets, well actually three lights as I thought each box was a single light. I was bit surprised to find they where packaged as pairs and I'm not quite sure what to do with the others right now. It would be worth a trip to see if any others are still there.

The ghetto Walmart in Morain didn't have any, but they did have a small set of some off brand for 10 bucks. They look good on the Polaris Ranger.

If have looked at lights at numerous walmarts over the years and I have never seen any Hella lights at any of them. You found a hell of a deal.

You keep saying knock off, these may not be the best lamps Hella makes but they certainly are not knock offs. They are sold and marketed as Hella 500 driving lamps made in Taiwan. They're out there I found several sets.
