Alternator upgrade

I want to run 8 PIAA driving lamps and understand that i will have to uograde the alternator. Do you think it will be better to mount another where the air conditioning pump fits to supply a aux battery, I cpuld also use that for the winch to.

HELP

Yep, what's the wattage of those lights and are you really planning on having all eight on at the same time that much?
