They do make them. Here is a link: Samlex. The amperage says 5 amps but the calculations say it can go to 13.5 amps.

Here is another one from the UK but it's a lot cheaper. (about $40 US plus $10 s/h) It only goes to 2.5 amps.

Haven't used these products specifically, but heard the Samlex equipment is good. Don't know anything about the UK stuff.

Good Luck!

hi,

do the lights have a sealed beam bulb, or do they have a replaceable bulb (halogen?). i'd look to see if an alternative twelve volt bulb is available. look for comparable wattages and light outputs. it would be much less expensive than a dc/dc converter (or two?) and of course be easier to wire.

just my two cents
