746 watts per 1 horsepower.

Headlights, taillights, other lights?
How many watts total?
75? That's 1/10 horsepower.
150? That's 1/5 horsepower.

The alternator has to work a bit harder to power up those headlights, and since the alternator is belt driven by the engine, when it works harder, the engine also has to work a bit harder, hence the slight engine power drop.

With the headlights on the generator is loaded up and the idle is slower so the car moves slower.
