Default Adding lights

Does anyone know if I can add any lights to the OEM lights on a '05 Rancher? I'm not sure if the charging system can handle more. I have a winch also. If so, any suggestions? Thanks.

You should be able to add 2 more 55w lights, I added 2 on my Foreman with no troubles.

Dont power them from the stock headlight wiring, I ran new wiring direct to the battery using a 30 amp relay. I wired the relay to activate when the stock headlights are on hi so I didnt have to add an extra switch.

I added two 55w lights onto my Foreman and haven't have a problem with them. I wired them directly to the battery, but put a switch on just for them, that way I've got a lot of lighting options, because I've got podlight switch on my Foreman too.

I added a couple of HID's to my 300fw with no problem- Used a new wire-harness though, not existing harness.
