Well that's quite the wealth of info, thanks :)
In the UK it's a legal requirement to have a rear foglight, red, and brighter than brake lights.
The irony is that there is a fair amount of fog there, but front fog lights are/were historically absent from nearly all vehicles.
So you partially answered the Rangers factory fogs as being flood light pattern, but they don't have a flood beam, they have a fog beam (per those pics)
No pun intended but.. Glad I could share some light on the subject.
If it were me, Id recommend taking advantage of the 'free' location and add a yellow bulb to the factory "fog" light location and take advantage of the slot in the lower bumper or behind the grill for additional lighting or both.
By that I mean in the lower bumper slot, the addition of a 20" LED single row series type light in a flood pattern.
Anything in the grill area and between the headlights, I'd have to recommend some form of spot lighting whether 4"-8", round or otherwise, Halogen/LED/HID to aid the headlights by throwing light farther down the road without having to engage the high beams themselves or even in excess of in some scenarios.
Spot or spot/flood combo's for anything above the hood line to the rack or overhead setups. Anything along the sides to rear should be 4"-12" and flood or if you're really serious, some of the "scene" lighting configurations as in an alley-light type use. Single cubes and SR series lights work well and minimize wind noise on racks at hwy speeds and depending on configuration needs or budgets; can be done in pairs. i.g. A single 6"-12" in the center for an overhead rear flood or a pair of on the outer ends above.
We have been working with a company we like to use for L.E.D., a red L.E.D. flushmount cube fixture light similar to this to be used on rear bumpers as a rear fog light; especially as an option in our own upcoming rear multi-carrier bumper product line offerings which would offer a single flushmounted rear flood reverse light (opposite of drivers position) and a rear facing flushmounted red
fog light on the drivers side, (regardless of a left or right hand drive vehicle) for vehicle code compliances.
Or you can opt for a second reverse light but so far has been unnecessary.
