Put the 7" lights on the front and 4/5 5.5 inches on the rack. Youll be glad you have the bigger lights up front. You won't get too much of an advantage with them on top opposed to more use from the front 4

Look into the Lightforce Striker 170's they are slim, and Lightforce sells a HID upgrade for them ! You can also adjust the beam pattern from spot to fog by twisting the housing.

Hey bud why don't you buy hella 500FF's? 50 bucks..another 30 and you can covert them to HID's and umm...I'll let you decide..but for 80 bucks you can have some bad *** lights!
I would go with hella 700s as there are little bigger and give more lift for like 8 bucks more. Either way you can't go wrong!

If you do this option your gonna want a 5000k color!
