I'll probably end up doing the light bar eventually. But it's all about the preference I guess. The KC lights give more of a long distance spotted light.. The light bar gives a more rounded light output.

I'm going to be upgrading to hids soon so I want something that will kind of match. Would the led kc lights be kinda close? I just like the look of the round lights. 2 behind the grill would be perfect

Light bars would match them better. I'm sure you can rig HID's in the KC's but I don't know for sure. Ask Browning

I am not a fan of the look of the LED bars behind the grill. You just see this big white strip behind the grill and does not look good IMO. Not sure on light output as to which is better. I know with the KC style lights you can put HID bulbs in them to get some better light output on those dark back roads though. if you had a bull bar/ grill guard the LED bar might look OK, but it is also easier to steal there.
Also, LED's do come in different color ranges, so you could match your HID headlights with the LED bar (as well as matching color HID bulbs in the KC style lights).
