Put LEDs in your headlights. Current draw from two LED headlights is about 2 amps. LED headlights are available fro LogoLites and LEDlight.com. They are direct plugin replacements and put out much more light than the original incandescent bulbs.

I also suggest installing a Fun Projects electronic voltage regulator on your generator - looks exactly like the original cutout, but allow the generator to charge the battery only when the battery needs charging - avoids overcharging and boiling the battery. It makes the original generator function much like a modern alternator.

I’m sure others will chime on on this one.
