The only problem I see coming from using a generator with stock lights is if you will be doing a lot of night driving sitting in traffic. Once the generator cuts in to charge I see between 0-1A of charge with the lights on. I also use a regulator. I’m not sure how much an old Jeep generator can put out but the A is good for about 12A, maybe a little higher in short spurts.
