Amps = Watts divided by Volts.

So it 2 x 100w lamps then
200 / 12 = 16.6666666 amps drawn by both lamps
200 / 12 = 16.6666666 amps drawn by both lamps

T'is likely to be a bit more n that
Watts dived by volts = Amps
ei
2 spots X 100 w/ 12volts = 16.66 Amps always use a higher rated wire as MHM says
Always use as close or lower fuse rating
Dont forget to use a relay and in line fuse from a seperate power source and they're own switch.
The relay can be switched from the main beam feed if you want them to come on with the main beam.
You can google a circuit diagram then it's fairly straight forward.
If you need help and are close enough I'll help
