Norm:
Thanks for the thought. I like to look out for issues like this before they
come up. For that reason, I took the precaution to look up the bulb wattage
and calculate the current draw - AND I already do have an alternator
installed!!
Thanks again for looking out for us,

Al fuller .. If you drive with your head lights on and both driving lights
on your battery will go flat ,your engine will stop , you would have been
using more electricity than the generator could supply , if this happened in
the middle of Nevada at 2AM , nobody would stop to help you .. you should
install an alternator to cover the extra load , or don't use both ...
