glock23,
Welcome to TBN.

32CP is about like a brake light. There are a lot of after market lights, but can your alternator withstand the current that they'll draw?
That said, <font color="red">Warn Winch</font> has some ATV lights that are a little less draw than the 55 watt lamps typical on the aftermarket. These lamps are 35 watt and available in each (backup) or pairs (trail lights). You might also check JC Whitney etc.
Hope this helps.

glock23,
30 amps of current should be plenty.

Ohms law:
Watts = Current * Voltage
30 * 12 = 360 watts available.

I'm pretty sure you can find 55 watts or even the 35 watts of the lights I refered you to.

I can tell you this, the first thing we put an extra light on was a Craftsman rider with an 8HP Briggs. It had about a 10 amp charging coil off the flywheel and it was almost enough to run one 55 watt tractor lamp. The lamp started off fairly bright and even when we were putting this thing away, it still had only dimmed some. Idle this thing and it was very dim though. It was able to extend our cut time by a couple of hours, but we did have to charge it back up over night.
