Assuming 35A@12V
35Amps output @ Alternator
2x 60W h/b headlights = 120W = 10A
6x 5W (approx) park/tail/plate lights = 30W = 2.5A
Dashlights & Instruments 12W (Approx) = 1A
Ignition coil - No idea? 60W = 5A?
UHF - 5-15W? = 0.4-1.25A?
Stereo - 20-60W? = 1.6-5A?
2x 130W spots = 260W = 21A

There is a constant load of 18.5A normally at night.
+ A reasonable nominal accessory load of about 3A (+ intermittent load up to 6-7A)
+ 21A of spotlights.

=42.5A = discharging battery by 7.5A. I'm guessing a typical Sierra battery is about 30-35A/H, resulting in a near flat battery after 4 hours (less if running fan/wipers/brakes/uhf transmit/really loud stereo).
IMO, Install your spotties, but don't use constantly.
