Electrical Help/Design ?

The following is a list of lighting and accessories I have had installed on my 2015 XP1000. I had this professionally done.
I have had the car out twice since June and on our last trip we did some night driving and it doesn’t appear that the charging system can keep up with the draw and I end up below 12 volts, and I dare not turn on the stereo.
I have 13.5 and 14V until I start turning on lights and then drop to 12.5, 12 11.5 etc. with only the 30" rigid+10" rigid, A pillar and B pillar and dust lights (6 d series).

Description AMPS WATTS
30" Rigid RDS Light Bar 16.3 225
10" Rigid Hyper Combo 5.65 78
Heretic Studios Head Lamps ? ?
Rigid Dually Lights qty: 6 6.6 94.8
Rigid Rock Lights qty: 6 1.8 24
Lowrance Elite 7 M 0.9 12
Rugged Radio 686 2
Veretex 2000 Radio 20 50
Heated Seats 7 AMP Ea 28
Stereo System SSV 4 spkr 2 sub ?
Whip Lights ?

Am I crazy to think that these accessories can run of the stock charging system? I am planning on take it back to where I had the work done, but I really would like to gain a little knowledge before doing so.
Any advice, comments, questions, and direction would be genuinely appreciated.

OTRATTW / Contura Swich plate or LED removal?

I purchased some Contura 14 rockers. After my first trip to the dunes one of the LED’s went out. Can I swap the LED out myself? If so how do I remove the switch cover and then remove the LED? I tested the wiring by putting the removable backplate on another switch and it lights up the lower LED fine on that switch, so I know it’s not a wiring issue. I guess I could buy a new switch but the switch itself works fine.

Yes, I already tried contacting OTRATTW by both email and phone and no one answers / writes emails back.

Fuel pump died

Out for a ride with bunch of buddies, turn around to find out where half the group ended up, smashed though a big section of ,let’s call them water logged whoops, and my 900xp started running rough. Found the group, shut the machine off and it wouldn’t start. Pump won’t run now. Have power and ground at the plug.
Anything common about this and is there an alternative to a Polaris pump?

Looking for some one knowlegable with trailer wiring.

Hi, I am having nightmares trying to get my trailer lights working properly.
I have a 7’x12′ trailer that I tow my RZR on. The wiring had gotten caught on something and was torn out.
I have just bought a new wiring harness and quality LED stop and turn signal lights. The new harness may have one wire less than the original that was torn out. I have got the turn signals and brake lights working but no running lights.
I am at a loss what to do next. Before I bought the LED lights and new harness, I took the trailer to a repair shop to have them repair the torn harness. I was told the trailer was repaired and I picked it up. I was in a hurry because I was leaving for several days. I did not check to see if the lights were working properly. I found out later that every thing was working except for the running lights.
With the new harness and LED lights that I have installed myself, everything works except the running lights. I do not want to take the trailer back to that shop.
The problem I am sure is something simple but my bird brain just cannot grasp what it is.
If anyone knows the answer please let know.
Thanks guys.

Amber light???

Currently running a standard 30" Totron light bar but have had some vision issues on dusty nights. If I got a 10" baja designs amber bar for my bumper is that enough to help if I were running both at the same time? Debating between that to maximize light or just getting an amber cover for my 30" bar.
