In this case size does not matter. Presuming you will use halogen lights 
with H1 or H7 bulbs, they are standard 55W but can also be had in higher 
power versions up to 180W.  If you use a good design reflector/lens 55W 
is plenty enough. Even your headlamps can be good enough if you replace 
the Lucas head lamps or the sealed beams with Hella halogen headlamps 
fitted with standard H4 bulbs 60/55W or higher, say up to 120/55W, 
should give you enough light without the need of spot lights. However 
all these should be wired through relays with thicker wires and used in 
combination with a higher output dynamo/alternator.
