Default Road king headlight upgrade

I would like to upgrade my stock headlight and the two other riding lights from 98 to one of the newer "diamond cut" sealed beam headlights. Would this a direct swap or do the newer light require more juice?

These are what I want

I upgraded to the Adjure Diamond cut on my 95 FLHTC and never had any issues. The headlamp was a direct plug and play but the passing lamps I had to do some minor wiring and installed butt connectors. Worked great and I when sold the bike I gave them to a bro that installed them on his 95 Fat Boy and still going after 2 yrs. Never noticed a changes in the voltage area.

I think it was in 2005 they made the change to the way the passing lamps connect, HD does sell an adapter for those who don't want to make the wiring mods.
