Adding lights...

Generally speaking, can these minitrucks take the added electrical draw of adding driving lights?
I was thinking of 2x55w driving lights, but i did not want to strain the alternator.

a 55 watt light pulls about 5 amps. so 2 headlights and 2 driving lights would be about 20 amps, one place list the Alt at 50 amps out , so this should work fine. i would run a fused wire from the battery and switch the power with a relay ( most light kits have this) to keep from overloading the fuse box.

Great info, thanks!
