Nothing stopping you from having more.
I have 2 on my Terrano. 1 on each side of the spare tyre to light up either side.




I also have a LED light bar on the front (wired in as a fog light) along with 2 spot lights. With all the lights on, driving along a dark country road is brilliant. The LED bar has heaps of spill which makes cornering better, and the spotties give the throw for long range vision. The light bar puts out better light than the headlights Lo beam but not as good as Hi beam. Low speed crawling along a river bed or farm track, the LED bar is fantastic. Foggy nights however, the LED light is far too white and simply creates a white blanket out front.



The quality of LEDs are getting much better. Decent brands are very good quality but horrendously priced. Cheaper Chinese lights are available much more reasonably. Quality of bracketry and bolts leaves much to be desired though. My light bar came from Aliexpress and was landed for under $75ND.

Good looking setup, I bought a Terrano a couple of weeks ago and been getting a few ideas for it (along with some neglected maintenance that I was a bit casual and didn't check up on before buying...), had similar thoughts to your setup for lighting. Has the factory nudge bar with spotlight mounts and looks like foglight wiring already which would that part pretty easy.

By the way, do you happen to have a digital copy of the workshop/service manual for them or know where I could find one?

No I haven't got a manual sorry. Maybe try Offroadexpress forum for an electronic manual?

Got mine from this outfit http://liteway.aliexpress.com/store/...251810393.html
My bar is approx 21" CREE LED. The Epistar LED bars are better than the CREE apparently.
