I get a little extra light on the sides but the majority of the light shoots straight ahead.
I dont know if you could fit 6...it would depennd on how your roof rack was designed and if you were mounting on the roof rack of the cargo rack bar.

how diff was the wiring

Wiring is fairly simple, however like I said earlier, most people upgrade the wiring itself. The wires that come with the kit are a bit small. A larger gauge wire would be better.
If you want to get really crazy you can upgrade the bulb for fairly cheap ($5-10 per housing IIRC).

the HF lights are not the only cheap lights around btw... I got my Rectangular lights on the front of of my Cherokee for $24 a set from Walmart and they come with covers. so If you don't like the oval light then that is another option

I picked up a couple pairs today for $17 each and mounted a pair on my fairlead today, didn't get the chance to wire it because of time and I think of going to custom it but here is a pic
