off-road light options....

Ive been looking for some options for lights on my roof. So I have an Idea of what I want, but now my Question is Round or rectangle? If you all could give me some pics of what you all got would, I would greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

ChRiZ


P.S
I already have two 6in round ones on a light bar on my bumper that my uncle & I made.

yeah, with just the two hellas and high beams it is bright, I cant imagine what it would actually look like, probably all just really dim from not enough juice

I have Hella 500's with 130W bulbs, they are BRIGHT

Take note that only two Hella's with 130W bulbs will pull about 21.5Amps, so if you tried to go for anything more (say 4 for example) that would be 43 amps, probably beyond what a stock alternator can handle...

Just a heads up.
