Default 5 3/4 -vs- 7 headlight (Huff_custom)

Got a 7" headlight i put on today. But im kinda up in the air on this one. I bought a 7inch cause my 4 1/2 spot lights made my 5 3/4 headlight look small. but now that i got my 7" on im not sure on the look. Im open for opinions,

+1 - It's really about what you're happy with. IMO I like the 7", but it makes everything look a bit crowded. Maybe if you moved the spots outwards a bit with some short extensions?

I like the 7" & where the Spots are, but those turns signals need some updating. Other than that, I honestly really dig the way you got the scoot set up. Thought about going that route with mine too.

I also think it looks ok, but would look better if you moved the spots out a bit. maybe switch to bullet turns too.

I think the 7" looks better with the spotlights. I think your instinct was good on that.

+1 on the turn signal thing

I like the look of the 7" and also think the spots should be moved out. Frenched bullet blinkers or smoke lens would be a plus JMHO.
