Default fog light recommendation

my loving wife just purchased some kc 6" hilites for me for my '99 sport...i'm thinking they may look a little big...should i send them back for 5" or get the 2"x6" rectangles?...i'd really like to see what they would look like with all three variations

Welcome to the forum. Where do you want to mount them? Factory location? Most people will either mount the 6" hilites on the roof rack or on the front bumper.

I mounted mine on the bumper, and i think they look pretty good. I'd just keep the 6" ones.

those are actually 6" lights on a factory mopar brush guard. even without the guard, I like the look of them in that location.

your best bet for the factory lights is to pick up a pair at the junk yard. I found mine for $20 a pair. Then you can still put the 6" ones on top of the bumper

then your computer isn't set right to view pics. it's on photobucket, so there's no reason that you can't see it.

here's a link to it

Here are mine on my roof. They are not the slim line ones.

Not great pics but hope it helps. They don't look too big when mounted.
