With long LED ranges no need to change the alternator. A detail: The 100/90 W lamps are not approved on the road.

Hello, thank you for your answer, but it is a vehicle that I use to be quickly on the scene where I intervene (without having to waste time going through my boss's workshop because big waste of time) , I do lots of repairs on boats and for local farmers and it is often at night or in the evening and I need a lot of lighting especially since 99% of my trips are done on roads, farms agricultural, in the fields, the banks of lakes or rivers and I also sometimes help out firefighters or gendarmes, dam maintenance services etc. And also I'm tired of hitting deer and others that I don't see coming in the ways.
The additional lights that I want to put on the car I already have with 130 W lamps and would like to add H4 100/90 in addition and would just like to know if the car can support this lighting.

If we knew the model of the car and / or the power of its alternator, it would go faster.

From what I read, a 70A alternator provides 980W (14x70 = 980).
For your car, I saw that there are 90A 1260W (14x90 = 1260).
So it's up to you.

So if I understood correctly to leave the 130 w in long ranges I have to put H 4 60/55 W in the original optics.
Do you know if I can adapt H4 led lamps?
