I assume you want to power a big stereo or similar thats exceeding the
alternator rating. Lets suppose that this item wants to draw 800W, or about
70A. Stop light bulbs are maybe 30W, tail lights are say 14W. Replacing
these with LED units that draw maybe 15/5W won't solve the problem.

You cannot replace headlight bulbs with an LED array replacement unit
because the reflector is designed for an incandescent point source. A
headlamp has to be designed for a LED array source.

Your only viable solution is install a higher rated alternator.
