what i've done is replaced the stock ones for doss marker lights and taken the two 5 watt bulbs out of each one and relaced them with 21 watt bulbs


Shouldn't be a problem - as Pete's pointed out the standard alternator has spare capacity enough for driving lights, external power sockets, and gawd knows what else. When I've got the trailer on it's supplying several extra taillights, indicators etc too.

I'm still inclined toward the "loose plug" scenario. Seen it numerous times (admitedly mostly on 1960's minis) where the plug'll melt for no obvious reason, and replacing it fixes the problem. If you're concerned go for a belt round the block with everything electrical running then take the seat off and see if the plug's warm.
