Default Alternator keep up?

How will a stock electrical system hold up to 49.7amps of power draw at idle (from my offraod lights)? Will the stock alternator keep up?

I don't think so. Stock alternator is rated around 100-105 amps. I don't know what output is at idle but probably a lot less than 100.
