So I already have two Hella 500's on he front bumper but I want to add 4 more on the roof. Is that going to be too much power for the car to handle?

Thanks,

Ryan

Thanks for the quick reply. The entire kit is on sale at Amazon for $39.99 so I'm getting two of them.

Thanks again,

Ryan

if it comes down to it you could always upgrade your alternator to a mean green, or possibly one out of a renegade.. i think they both put out 140

If I could get one of those, I would get rid of the Hella 500's inbetween the stock fogs.

Also, the top rectangular lights, the Hella ff75 are used as back-up lights and/or side lights.

a bit pricey but perhaps could sell off some of your other lights to cover some of the cost lol
