Default Will the wiring system handle more lights?

I was looking at the strip LED lights to wire in for am extra brake light and marker light, will the 01 wiring get system handle more light on an fxdl?

This guy showed me his set up today and it has me wondering.. the lights are Alpena max lights. They seem bright.

Thanks

If you add a relay, you can add anything that the battery/alternator can handle. Your power would be supplied directly from the 12V battery terminal and the lights would be controlled wherever you wired them in at, switch, fusebox, tapping into an existing wire... I'm about to do this with an amp for some bar mounted speakers. Hope this helps.

I wouldn't worry too much. If these are what you are talking about they only draw .12 amps, or 1.44watts. If it's too much a fuse will most likely blow.
