I should add that BYUCOUG and I have parked side by side in the dark in a big open field and the 8" throw alot more light with a better pattern. I was kinda surprised at the difference. But they are twice as much.

The 8 inch looks great. The 6 inch look good too but this thread convinced me to go with 8.

Anyone else care to chime in with comments or photos? I'm still on the fence about what size.

I have 8" KC's on MOPAR brackets on mine, exactly the same setup as Clackey has.

I had the 6" ones up there briefly, but imho they just looked to small so I traded them out, and am very glad i did

I would post pictures but i currently am waiting for my camera to come back to me.

I'll get pics soon, but I definitely prefer my new 8" long range....I swapped them recently and moved the 6" fogs onto new bumper.

The larger 8" take a little getting used to visually...very IN YOUR FACE, and obviously a much better light beam than 6".

If your going with the larger 8", would recommend only on Mopar brackets given lower positioning on the windshield.

I got to go with 6" and Mopar brackets. But that's because I just ordered them for my JK (lifted with 37's).
