Default Wanting reviews on 4" long range lights

I just bought a used ladder rack and wanna deck it out with lights. But I don't have room for 6 inchers. I want good quality long range beams, even if a 4 inch light costs more. A perk would be a pair of driving beams that look similar. I want the long rangers on the inside, and a driving beam on each side, aimed slightly to the side. Thanks!!

P.S. Do watts have anything to do with lumens? I found 6" KC lights that were 130 watt. Does that make them brighter necessarily?

Look at Hella too. Or you can go the route of HID or LED but that's big bucks. You also want to make sure you have full voltage going to them. Watts don't have as much to do with lumens but you can certainly over think the lighting deal.

This may clear up the watts/Lumen confusion http://lumennow.org/lumens-vs-watts/.

Looks pretty good, 55 watt bulbs, so they are street legal as well.

I don't even understand the question. Are you referring to OEM headlights? If so, check specs on the bulbs you are using (then deduct for plastic housing).
