KC Slimlites: 6-inch or 8-inch?

[murrman]

I currently have two pairs of Rigid 360 4-inch driving lights on my front bumper. They’re not bad, but I don’t love them. I’ve been looking at the KC Slimlites in both the 6 inch and 8 inch as potential replacements. From the mockups I tried making, I’m worried the 8 inch would look a little too big. For the 6 inch model, I originally thought about getting another four pods total. Based on the specs and the size, however, I’m wondering if just two would be a better fit. Anyone have any thoughts or experience with these and want to chime in?

Whatever looks best to you really, when a high grade light bar would probably be very functional.

What's up with the Rigids? DOT low light? I almost bought the fogs then aligned miy OE in 30 sec and a huge difference.

Two 8-inchers look good, but …

Four six-inchers also look good!

I have the KC sixes, and more or less for retro looks, since their long, narrow output and spot pattern isn't quite as usable or useful in the near range as the A-pillar Diode Dynamics SS3 Pros Combo lens or the SS3 Pro Fog Lens.

They do throw pretty far as a spot, but my amber covers limit that output a bit.

Honestly, it's mainly an aesthetics thing. I like the lights, but there's part of me that just thinks the 4" pods look a little too small. If I do replace them, I plan on moving them up to the A pillars because functionally they're great (especially for the price).

The 4" look good. Discreet for sure and not disrupting airflow to heat exchangers mich if at all.

The 4 six-inchers look fantastic. Whose bracket are they mounted on, looks perfect!

It’s a custom fabrication. See here:

Why not meet in the middle and check out something like the Vega 7s? Not too big, not too small, and an optional Laser if output and distance are what you're after.

Personally really like the look of 4 across the bumper!

Or dare I suggest…on the bumper but behind the grill?

Stock grill. Just got black letters from Vasher Design to get rid of the white.

Love the clean look and anti-theft element, but they'd be completely non-functional after a single commute home here. I keep a brush and a 1gal pump sprayer unit in every car to clean off the headlights before and after commuting.
