Default 6" or 8" windshield lights?

I'm debating on which ones I like better. It's hard to get tell what they will look like from looking at puictures on here, so I wanted input from those who have them.

I have the mopar mounts, but still on the fence about the lights.


Any advice, or things to consider that I haven't already?

You can see pics from Clackey. He has the 8s I think and I know he loves them. I personally like the 6s. He may even have before/after pics because I think I remember him having 6s first. Good luck

I like the looks of the 8" lights on the bumper, but 8's mounted on the windshield block too much of your vision.

I think he has the Mopar brackets though, which makes a difference.

Yes I do have the mopar brackets...but like I was worried about its hard to get a good "perspective" look at them from looking at pics. That's why I'm having a difficult decision with this.
Clackey's pics were the ones making me unsure of what I want. LOL
I think his 8" looks great (that just sounds wrong) because of the larger tires and lift. As of now I'm stock (rubi). I may have to stick with the 6" for now I suppose. I don't know.

I had the 6" and they were great! After I lifted my Jk the 6" light looked tiny so I switched them out for the 8". On my Jk they seem to fit better than the 6". I sold my 6" lights to BYUCOUG. His Jk is lifed with 35's and they look great on his so be it.

There was a post about the Baja Designs 8" lights fitting on the KC brackets. I have 6.5" Warn SDB 160 dual spot/floods and I like em but man those 8" lights look good. Anybody know if they would work with the KC Brackets?

Who sells the lights? Just wondering if any vendors on the forum stock them. Thanks.
