Default adding bullet marker lights

I'm considering adding a pair of emgo zeppelin mini bullet lights on my '07 heritage. My question is can I pull power for them from the fendertip light wiring or will that overtax that circuit? The fendertip bulb is a GE 194 3 watt and the bullet lights are GE 1003 12 watt, 0.94 amps each. The bullets will be in addition to the system for running lights, not to replace the stock turn sigs.

The circuit is a 15A circuit. It should be just fine. As a matter if if f that is one circuit that is cimmonlc used to power the Aux lights as independent of the low beams.

OK, I thought it was a photoshopped joke but if you are serious. . . Your *** end isn't going to get missed that is for damn sure, careful not to blind the poor bastard behind you though.
