Those lights do look a bit overkill, Maybe a set half as big of 3/4 as big? And slightly smoked.

yea im gonn have to check the size later this week to make sure the proportions are right. but i plan on testing out some night shades on the lense of the center light when i get another one to swap it out with, otherwise im gonna have to fork over for a full set of black magics :drool:

Something to consider... How much aerodynamic drag will that setup add? At highway speed it might cost you 1-2mpg.

I don't see it being that big of an impact. If those lights are 6" in diameter he isn't even adding 1 sq. ft. of frontal area.



Jake, those lights look big because you need to shrink them down a tad. You're taking them almost halfway back on the vehicle---they won't look that big on the roof.
