if you look up ohm's law online, you will find a calculator.
enter the voltage and the watts and the amps will be displayed
add up the amps and see if you have a safe margin so that your charging system still has capacity.
100 watts is 8.33 amps- we always add a little for the resistance in the wiring and switch contacts-
one of the advantages of led lights is that they use much less power to produce lumens ( measure of light output) than halogen on incandescent lamps

Hi from the UK and welcome to HDF. I assume your bike is a 2017 Limited? Unless you intend turning your bike into an Xmas tree you may be fine! Also many add-on lights these days are LED, which draw very little power. Tell us what extra lights you have in mind and we can give you some help.
