Yes. The two in grill are obviously the originals. I just bought rubber mounted 35W for the 4 on the fenders. Yes, the two that face forward on the fenders flood the sides. I found that when blowing snow, with all the "fog" you can't see very far in front of you. After some near misses with objects just off to the side, I found it way more important to see what you are next to. I have never had any issues with the grill lights not shining far enough in front of me. The two facing rear are the same way. Aimed in a pattern that lights a large area. I'm used to big tractors and wanted to see behind me, although I do other jobs at night where that is more important. When pushing snow, or even mowing, one light would be fine. FWIW, some simple shims under the upper part of the mounts of the grill lights will aim them farther forward if you don't think they are "high" enough. I haven't mounted lights on my cab yet, and let me tell you, it WILL have them come winter. I'm not doing that again. It was like working with a flashlight after using a tractor with 6!
