Hella 500's or Hella 700's?

I'm curious what Hella's everybody is running?

I have four Hella500's on my roof basket and recently I installed a pair of Hella700FF's above my bumper. I seem to find the Hella700FF's to be more focused than the 500's, what do you guys think?

By the way I'm not planning to keep all these lights, it's simply too much for the poor old alternator to keep up with. I'll move some to my other Jeep.

I am planning to install the same setup, Now I have 4 hella 500FF on the roof with 100W bulbs. I see no difference on the power. But I have a optima yellow top and that make a big difference.

Sweet, I've thought about going with 100W bulbs but wasn't sure the lamp housings or the battery/alternator could handle the load.

If and when I ever remove the roof lights I'll pop some 100W bulbs in my bumper mounter Hella700FF's.

What makes you think the alternator cant handle that load? There are a lot of people that have that many lights if not more and the alternator handles it no problem.
