Whad-ja think? Too much light?

So, tell me what you think about these.....Just so big they look a little ridiculous, or what? I had 500's up there, but I've never really been happy with them, So I picked up these 3000's in a pencil beam for like $100 on E-bay. I would have rather gotten 1000's in a pencil beam, but every place I've found has them back ordered. So.....I swapped them out, stepped back and said.......jeeeeeeesus....those are HUGE......but, maybe they just look a little too big after being used to the 500's for so long. Anyways, let's get some opinions, and then I'll decide if I want to go another route. Thanks!

Looks good to me. Now you need to add the 1000's next to the 3000's.

OK... first off, there's no such thing as too much light.

Now, onto your rig. I think the size is fine. I personally have never liked the look of just two lights up top - I think they look like mickey mouse ears. But the size is fine. Add two more, or some 500s or something to "finish it off" and you'll be set.

FWIW... I tried to mount my 4000s up to my rack, but they are too deep for the brackets, so they stay on my bumper.

I agree with saying "there's no such thing as too much light". And I also agree with Jackson... Two lights looks kinda odd. Put your smaller 500's on the outside of the 3000's... like this oOOo I think that setup looks great!
