I have six inch lights on mine, I don't think that they block too much of my vision, but I don't know if I would want bigger ones.

I threw some6 inch day lighters on mine. 100 watt spots. They take up a chunk of the view, but I'll honestly say that after a week I didn't even know they were there anymore. Personally I'd stick with at least the6 inch or the7 so they still match the head lights. The5 inch would look out of place

I have hella 500s on my windshield and 700ffs on the bumper. I saw a jeep with the 700ffs on the windshield brackets and they looked silly. 500s are 6 3/8" 700s are 218mm x 88m whatever that is...
