8*100Watts = 800Watts
800Watts/12= 67Amps

thats just for those lights.

take into account other lights, heater fan etc then yu need a BIG alternator - at least 110Amps.

If yu run those with the standard 45A or 65A alternator, yo battery will be discharging all the time yu have them on - and the Alternator will be working flat out and might cook itself :(.
 
Cheers MHM...i noticed today the engine actually lost power at tickover when i tested the 'flash'..I have 4 100w spots and 2 legal headlights (b4 i put the 100w in)...

I'm sick of that bloody roof bar anyway...Think i'll put the 100w bulbs in the headlights, remove the spots and maybe just put 2 spots on an A-bar.
