Bull Bars with Lights

Does anyone have (or know someone that has) a Westin Ultimate Bull Bar with lights mounted on their ranger? If so, what lights?

I ask because I want one of those bars, but recently found out that standard 6" lights will not mount properly on them. Apparently, there is only 6" between the bars, and you have to aim the lights really far down to get them to fit.

I've been looking at the KC slimlites as an option. It looks like they have an off-set mounting bracket that MIGHT give enough room to correctly angle the lights. I've talked to both Westin & KC technical people, but the best they can tell me is that they "SHOULD" fit fine.

I know there are several 5" light options, but for some reason, they just don't look right to me. Most I have seen look "cheap". Does that make any sense?
