There are only 2 lights I'll ever run. Bolt Performance and Lightforce.

PIAA. Only quality light I've used. Great workmanship, great wiring, and relays, switches, everything is high quality, and well engineered.

I'm going to run 4 VisionX HID-8500's on the light rack on my hooptee.

Basically, I want a good light for the money I don't want to spend to much on them. But I do believe you get what you pay for!
Right now, I think that the Hellas are the way to go. A lot of people have them and they seem to work well.
I was talking with my dad about it and he thinks that I should go with a cheap brand and save my money for something else, like paint and body work. I do see where he is coming from, I can always upgrade to something better later on.
What are yalls thoughts? Go cheap or get decent lights?

Why buy twice? The money you spend on something you'll upgrade ... is wasted.

I agree. If you don't have the $$ to do it right, and its not an emergency - wait. You spend $25 on a cheap set only to throw them away for a $70 set of hella's, its a big waste.

Buy quality once, otherwise you'll be spending more in the long run.
And like you said, the Hella's are a good quality light at a decent price.
Later on you can upgrade to "super" lighting then, but won't have to.

I prefer the cheap 6" 100 watt lights found at WalMart and some other places for about 10-15 dollars each. I made my own wiring harness using a 30 amp relay and using the high beams for signal power. That way anytime I turn on my brights, the offroad lights come on. When a car comes and I dim them, the offroad lights go off. It works great and the wiring is really simple and clean since there's no wire to route into the cab. The picture is ancient, but I still have the same lights installed in the same place. I've replaced about three of the 100 watt H3 bulbs in the past 4 years running those lights.

if u only want to buy lights once buy an HID light or a set of Lightforces. HIDs are rediculously bright but expensive. Lightforces are by far the brightest lights I've seen/used besides HIDs
