Fuses are sized to protect the gauge of the wires in the circuit in cases of overloads and shorts.

Your additional lamps should be on their own circuit with their own fuse. You can use the headlight circuit to trigger a relay to turn on the additional lamps, or put them on a separate switch.

X2. Those extras should never have been tied in with the rest of the system. The triggered relay would be the way to go.
