I purchase the mid-range light kit. I have these mounted on the rear so I added two on the front leaving room for another pair.

The instructions seem to be written for a difference design lamp. For example, it tells you to drill a 6mm hole to mount the light but requires a 12mm (1/2-inch hole). It also suggest running the wires through the hollow mounting bolt but it is tough fit since the terminals include some sealing (water proofing) features.
Also, there is no mention of assembling the lamp connector. You need to insert the terminals (it requires a certain orientation to latch) and then put on a second rear snap. I had to remove the tie wrap on one end to expand the wires to fit the rear cap that captures the terminals. They also suggest a 10mm hole but the lamp connector once assembled is wider than that. This means once assembled you cannot remove the wire without enlarging the hole.
The lamp terminals as provided without the connector.

I laid out the design for two lights. In hindsight, I should have moved the lights further back.

The biggest challenge was cramming all those wires in the OPS switch box. Per John Deere style, they always use one power tap and then provide a second for the next daisy chained accessory. The cable harness for the OPS wiring and the lights (rear and now front) was a stiff mess because they wrapped electrical tape on all wiring intended to be in the inside the box. After some long time trying to cram it all in, I gave up and removed most of the electrical tape to make the wiring more flexible. After doing this, I was able to fold the wiring in the box to actually get the box to seal properly. When I add the next set, I will have to do it again.

The cable harness is designed to fit front and rear position (a different part number for S4 models) so had to hide some of the excess. I will likely trim this (cut and remove excess and then reconnect).
Finished
