Default auxiliary lights

I have a set of hella 500 series lights that I'm thinking about making a handlebar mount for. They would be going on my 2000 big bear, and the idea is to have a steerable set of lights just like the headlight pod on a Honda. But better lol. But I'm not sure if the electrical system can handle it. When I had them on my truck, I replaced the 55 watt bulbs with 100 watt bulbs. Can the stock electrical system handle the factory headlights and the two spotlights being on all at once? Has anyone else tried something like this?

I am not an expert on it either, but I have installed some aux driving lights in my grill of my 1991 Kaw Bayou. They were 55watt bulbs and it handled it just fine along with the factory headlight. I think if you changed out the 100 Watts back down to 55, it should be able to handle it. Just my 2 cents

I still might give this a shot, but I've got to convince my dad to give them back. They're on his boat right now lol.
