I have the factory roof rack with the 4 lighting mounts. everything is wired up to 4 Hella 500 Driving. The problem is the light wash on the window and dash.
What light (preferably Hella) will help with this problem?( I put the lights on to see at night, now I cant see! )

I did the same thing you did. Put on 4 500's and couldn't see crap! I just went ahead and got 4 Hella 4000's. They throw a much better beam and there is no wash on the windsheild. I also added a hood black-out decal but I really didn't even need to with the 4000's. I assume you could probably use 3000's also if you wanted to save some money but the 4000's are nice. Metal housing and very sturdy. Also bright as hell(a)!
Hope this helps.

Thanks. But which beam? Pencil, fog, driving?

You can use any. I put two fog on the outside, and two driving on the inside. But pencils will work too. You will be amazed at the difference.

I would go with pencils in the center. I have driving with all 4 of mine up top and it is a pain. Or just blacken your bonnet and that will take care of the glare
