toning up, still want mass gain in legs

Now im cutting and hoping to tone up all around and get a 6 pack! so ive increased my reps a little and increased cardio. Is there any way i can try and get gains in my legs while keeping up cardio and losing fat all around? For instance, if i was to keep my reps lower while doing legs (still 6-8) would that help me get the bigger legs i want? Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thankyou.
