It will increase current draw an unknown amount so would measure exactly how much each filament draws individually and then together with an amp meter before committing to the change. Would almost surely be above the amount of current the headlight switch is designed to normally provide and could cause some damage there. To avoid that possibility, would require a separate fused circuit thru relays to eliminate the extra draw in switch. Another possible point of problem could be the headlight bulb connector itself which also might not be able to carry the increase on the common or ground terminal without overheating. Am also not sure how much current your generator puts out so any chance it would it be at full output all the time lights are on?
