not sure right now but I would guess like 3 to 5 inches but there's still plenty of room in there for a bigger size

I think instead of going crazy with a drill I'm just gonna let my dad but them off me for his tractor and I'm gonna go ahead and order some slimlites from kc. I recommend the daylighters to anyone who has room though! Those were the brightest trees I have ever seen!

For the money I'd definitely recommend the hella 500's . I had a set of them and a set of KC slims at the same time and you couldn't tell any difference in output. For me if the Hella's are $50-60 a pair for the output VS $150+ for KC's it's a no brainer. Especially behind the grille where you're not running that fancy cover with the 2 letters you paid more for lol

So they make a spot pattern? And I would hate to sell my dad a pair of 120$ lights then turn around and buy a 60$ pair!! Just don't seem right! Lol
