I know the headlights are 12V 55W, and the sidelight/position light is 12V 5W. If I'm fitting auxiliary lights, do I need to match the watt ratings? (ie, what happens if I fit a 55W lamp in the sidelight circuit?)

This might seem a slightly odd question, but it does make sense in the greater scheme of things that y'all don't know about
