forget the halogens you will not have enough power to run them. go to mobileHID.com and order some LED's they use much less power and are much brighter. you can get a MTF dicount too if I remember right. for example. I have 2 sets on my cab and I can run my stock hood lights. I could probably add a third set if i wanted to.

usually when calcing wattage, folks use 12 volts.
but most charging systems in good shape will output 14.5+ Vdc... if your motor puts out 14.5 then you get a couple extra watts to play with!
do you need the headlights and the additional lights on at the same time??
When I put two 55 watters in the corrrect place (on the cab) I did not need my headlights on (at the same time) anymore so had no voltage problems including the beacon (1amp) and the wiper (2amps)... with my 15 amp charging circuit... and I didn't get "porked" for the good LEDs...
