A 90A alternator puts out over 1000W of charge so a couple of
high-wattage headlight bulbs aren't going to tax it.  Running euro
lights with 55W bulbs will give you more usable light than DOT
lamps with 130W bulbs.  Use a relayed harness if you don't already
have one, or your headlight switch and stock wiring will fry.
