Increasing the wattage in an existing light housing is a good route, as long as your OEM Wiring is up to the task. Wire, Relay, Switch, should be checked for proper amperage carrying ability. ( 65 watts/12 volts = 5.4 amps per lights, 10.8 amps total ).
Front OHV Lighting on my other Rangers, have been four lights, all mounted to the front grille area, Two Spots lights in the middle and two flood lights on the outside. Amperage draw would be high but this set up worked well, and Two switches so the Floods and the Spots were wired separately !
On my '03 EDGE, the OEM Fogs worked well, filled in where the headlights cut out, gone but not forgotten !
I haven't installed my front lighting or new Fog replacements, but the same will happen. Two Spots, two Floods, and on this one two Driving Lights. Again, high amperage, old school, but I already have them and LEDs for this wattage (100 and 130 watts) cost too much !
