I left the factory headlights in mine and put 2 overhead lights in the front and one in on the rear top. Separate switches and it worked great.

For my RTV 900 I wired up my own rear work light. I had the light, wire and a switch. I bought a 5 pole solenoid for ~$6. It might have taken me an hour to get it figured out, soldered together and wrapped up the way I wanted. The light cost maybe $30 new, so if I had to buy almost everything new it would have been maybe $50 all together.

It wouldn't be hard to do the same for the front and have them switched together or separate.

I have pictures buried some where, I'll gladly dig them up if you'd like.
