what wattage are the lights, normal lights that you can get at places like autozone and kragen are 55w, offroad lights that you can get at places like offroad warehouse and 4 wheelparts are 100w like the h4 bulb. i have 55w offroad lights and that doesnt affect my truck's alternator at all.

should be just fine, people push 1000w systems off stock power

i was thinking of 2 130w hilites.

just make sure u run them off a relay and not just straight through a switch

mine are wired into the cigarette lighter. Im not sure how many watts mine are, but i know they're bright, and so far have not had an affect on my alt.
