Default round or square lights?

Wonder peoples thoughts. I have a 20" led bar on my bumper and am wanting to get new leds for windshield brackets to. I'm not sure if I want round or square lights. Square would be different than the jeeps in my area but round is classic look. What's everybodys opinion round or square?

I'm partial to classic round. I think they look bad ass. Sorry or those who like the squares, but I think those remind me of bad 80's or 90's attempt at being hip and different.

Not a huge fan of the square, but I like the idea of being a bit different than those around you.

I like the round. I'll be purchasing a RR overhead light rack and mounting 5 round 7" lights on it. I've found that the square lights look better with the hardtop jeeps though.

I agree I like the round one seems to go better with the round lights of the jeep

I've always been a fan of traditional round lights on all of my jeeps, but I have to say that as my jeep continues to evolve into it's next iteration, I'll be looking to replace the old school round lights with LED lightbars in more stealthy shapes and different locations.

Kind of like the Pinzgauer from Thor has:

I just went through the same dilemma. I went with round non led. I love the led light output but could not find round LEDs in my price range. I couldn't justify 500 bucks for light when I hardly use them. I put 2 6 inch rounds on my bumper. Well, am putting when they show up. Windshield lights I say round. On a roof rack squares would be ok.

A square peg does not go in a round hole lol. It is about light output and also draw on the battery. I don't need epic light output. That's why I went with cheaper better looking IMO rounds

Oh, nice bumper btw.
