I had square walmart fogs and driving lights on my roof and im not happy with the light output. plus I broke 2 off on a low tree limb. now its time to upgrade do I do 4- 6 inch kc lights or 6- 4 inch kc lights? or maybe 4- 4 inch lights? I wanna keep the lights as low as possible so I don't rip them off again so I was thinking 4- 4 inchers but will it look to empty ok thoughts the 6inch lights are 9 inches high mounted and the 4 inch lights are only 6 inches high mounted

if you ever buy kc's you wont buy another light again....personally id go with 4 6" kc daylighter long range 130 watters... thats what i have and i love them...do you have a picture of how you have/had them mounted?
 






Try two 6" lights more centered and two 4" outset. Point the 6" lights to converge seventy-five to a hundred feet ahead and place the 4" to point slightly outward to hit a little the peripheral of the trail.
 






no pics but I went to a machine shop if you can picture it they made it 3 inches wide and used 3 inch pipe and 2.5 inch pipe. the cut the 3 inch pipe in half then welded the flat piece to the pipe to make almost a "D" the rounded part is at the bottom. (lights mount on the flat part) then they cut the 2.5 inch holes in the rounded part and put the 2.5 inch tube in there cut it flush and welded everything up. then smoothed everything. it mounts to the factory roof rack mounts and I made it to flip down.

I wanted to hide the nuts and bolt so I designed this. also there are 2 rods on each end coming out to bolt down
 






i have 150 watt eagle one lights on my grille gaurd they are very bright and pretty cheap on ebay
