I'd greatly appreciate if someone could tell me the exact diameter of the OEM rally lights, including the outer rim.
Trying to decide if I'm getting these or aftermarket rally lamps. I like the look of the factory lights but they seem to be about a half inch too small for my taste.
Any suggestions on similar-looking aftermarket lights? The PIAA 540's are a nice size but I'm not sure if I like the fact that they're black instead of chrome... Actually that might look even better...hmmmm
Sorry I'm rambling.
Thanks in advance..

I believe that the diameter of the factory lights is 2 small 
You need at least a 6" diameter to balance out the headlights and look "proper." That being said, the factory mounts are intended for the smaller lights and it could be argued that they are a bit high (3/4"?) for 6-7" light.
