Not sure about the Hella but I switched to PIAA 1100x and very satisfied with it. It's bright!

What are your reasons for wanting to change?

Not bright enough? Have you changed the wattage? Did you aim them?

Beleive it or not aiming them makes a hugh difference.

Cost is about $150-200, if I recall correctly. And yes, they are a serious PITA to install.

Take a look at this:

From a scale 1-5 (1 being the least), I'm a "1" in mechnical skill. If I can do it, you can. I did my a little different and didn't have to cut any car wire. The only wire needs to be cut is one wire on PIAA. It was pretty much "plug -n- play". I had minor difficulty getting the old fog lights out because my twin intercoolers were in the way and putting in the PIAA took a little bit of time due to limited space. If your car is stock, there shouldn't be any problem.
