Hella H71010321 Dual Fog and Driving Light
I put these on my wifes minivan where space was limited. They never threw a great light patter, fog and driving being pretty similiar with the clear lenses & focusing either is next to impossible. I paid 40 dollars for my set and they’ve lasted 2 years now but I just noticed one of the lenses took a road debris hit and cracked.
I would buy them again but not for 50 dollars. I also will look around first.
For tight spaces they are good enough and look kinda cool. Dont expect hella from them though.

These lights you would expect to perform halfway decently being from Hella, but quite the contrary! I mounted these on a 2001 Jetta in Dec. and already in March one lamp refused to drain moisture and the reflector has rusted over already! I contacted hella by email, who will not make a phone contact available, and they refuse to answer or stand behind their product. I was first told that the seller would warranty them for a year, which amazon does not after 30 days even though they haven’t held up worth a crap, and upon contacting Hella again, they will not respond. Word of advice, you might as well spend the 50 bucks on two sets of lamps from walmart because they probably will last longer or at least you will have replacements! These are garbage, DONT buy from hella unless you get it from a store-based distributor that will stand behind their product.

i bought a set of these for my other car 5 years ago,they worked great,great performance and durabilty.then i bough a set for my other car in december.when i installed them,before i even got to turn them on for the first time,one of the glass lenses fell off when i was wiping my fingerprints off with a rag.amazon was very good at issuing a replacement set.when i installed these,the first time it rained and i turn them on,one of the lenses cracked,so i have just said heck with it and gave up.they must be made different now,because my original set from 5 years ago is still working fine.i would not recommend buying these.

The lights appear to be very well built & the housings sturdy. However, the seals do not necessarily fit perfectly at all points. I added a coat of silicon seal to the outside just to be sure. Good light patterns in both modes. Light output seems a bit low for 55W halogens, probably due to the small reflector size.

I purchased four of these lights and outfitted them to my Polaris Ranger. Works great, had to do some rewiring to allow all of the lights on at full power. Some other friends with Rangers saw them and now I am installing them on two others.
