    So ordered the lights, gonna run 4 100w up top. Went with these from harborfreight. I guess tons of jeep guys use them which is part of the reason I got them, the other reason is they use an h3 bulb so an hid swap will be easy and they're cheap.

    Still like the round 6" better. Paint um.

    6" Off-Road Light System

    Using the 20% off HarborFreightTools coupon @ regular $12.99 price
    makes it $10.41 before tax.
    Unless the cashier messes up and sells them for
    $8.81 after 20% off.

    Thanks fellas.

    Soo here is my reasoning behind the slight oval lights, yes I thought it through like crazy
    1. The front end of the 10th gens is literally built of entirely ellipses so the oval should blend well
    2. I wanted to make the rack relitively low profile, the oval will trick your eye making it look thinner than it actually is vs just a round light
    3. Compared to the round ones the feel an quality is night an day, I pulled em both out of the boxes an played with em.
    4. The oval use a h3 bulb vs a sealed light which will make an hid swap super easy.
    5. The mount was alot better on the oval ones.
    6. The oval fill the top of the truck better than the round so there will be less space between the lights for aesthetics

    Now I know there is a million different brands of lights but I didn't wanna spend much especially when ill be doing an hid swap later anyways.
