It all depends on what you want really... I have 5x7's in the front of my truck and i love the way it looks. Or did you want to go bigger for more light output?

I've used both 4" and 6". The light is well dispersed and not as sharp or as focused as actual driving lights...but tractor lights are fairly cheap (money-wise). Be sure to install a lighting relay, to keep the additional load off the light switch. If not using a relay, wire direct to the battery with an in-line fuse and a toggle switch. Most laws require that driving lights be wired to come on with your High Beams and off with the Low Beams.

well what i was think is that i have the 4 inches on the sides and then put two 5 or 6 inch lights between them. How do you think that will look? I already have the wiring ready for the lights so i just need to figure out what to get.

get 2 more tractor lights. i think the round ones are 4 1/2 or 4 3/4 really. then go to NAPA and get the 100 watt aircraft landing light bulbs that are the same size and replace the 35 watt floods with them. think they are about $10 apiece for those 100 watt bulbs. use heavier wires, relay, switch, fuses, and you now have excellent off-road lights! that's what i have on mine. rubber housings are great protection. lights are very bright and throw out a very long beam. as the filament in them is about an inch long, you can rotate the bulbs to make a slightly narrower or wider beam for yourself.
just my $.02.
