HELLA vs. BOSCH

[32.5i]

Sam wins... he said bosch never made SMILEYS... which implies they still made euro elipsoids

[TDE30]

AFAIK, Bosch never made smileys.

I said that.

[Sam Cogley]

Bosch did make euro ellipsoids.

I said that.

[PiercedE30]

I have had both. I like the way the Hella's disperse the light.

i have non-smiley bosch euro ellipsoids, the ones with the olive green metal housing, and the reflector inside is plastic.

[TDE30]

AFAIK, Bosch never made smileys. Other than that, there isn't much difference between Hella's Euro ellipsoids and Bosch's.

Bosch did make euro ellipsoids. I do know, though, that Bosch reflectors won't work in Hella euro ellipsoids, and Hella reflectors won't work in Bosch euro ellipsoids.

supposedly the reflector in a bosch light is made of metal. I know that the reflector in a hella light is made of plastic.

By now, most lights have crappy old reflectors anyways, and it is best to buy new ones from the dealer. You can only buy hella reflectors new. Bosch are discontinued.

So, I was wondering what the difference was between Hella Smiley Ellipsoids and Bosch Smiley Ellipsoids...
Is one better quality than the other?
What are they made with that could be different?
Is it just a matter of opinion?
or does one project light better?
Thanks alot,
