hey all,

with black friday around the corner im scoping some light sales and I am unsure if I should go 7" round or 9" round on the front bumper on either side of the winch.

is 9" too damn big?

im not near my truck for a few more days so i cant measure the headlights, are they 9" diameter? for those that have done it, does it look better having aux matched to headlight diameter?

both lights im looking at are road legal the 7's are allegedly 7200LM per light and the 9's are 14500lm per light, both more than adequate but im more concerned about how its gonna look up front

I have the ARB lights which I think are about 9ā€ in diameter.
Hereā€˜s a picture of how they look on mine…

Headlights are 9".

The AUX lights are totally what you want.
If you tow a lot then you may not want big boys there.

I have a Baja Design 10" bar in amber, does great in the snow/fog/misty mornings.

I had that thought regarding towing, I've got a 3500 for those duties!

We offer our Multifunction Round in 7" & 9" versions. These lights are impressive and look cool. Personally, I like the 7" on the Gladiator and the 9" on larger aplications.

Both utilize integrated LED marker lights feature both white and amber LEDs which can be used for parking lights, DRL, and/or turn signals.

Check them out here: 7 Inch & 9 Inch

I have 6" Hellas on my bumper, plenty of light. All just depends on what you want to do and the look you prefer.

I had 6" KCs and swapped them for 9" Baja Designs LP9. Totally worth the money on performance alone but look amazing as well. These are some of the biggest on the market but not perfectly round...They look perfect in my opinion on the Jeep. I don't have a winch though.

Cheers

I would definitely go with 7". I bought two sets of fairly inexpensive 9" for a Ram 1500, then I sold the Ram 1500. I tried with the idea of trying to use a pair of the 9" lights on my Gladiator, but there's just nowhere to put them. Here's a picture of them clipped onto the bumper. Just too big.
