Yes you can. Just put the fuse before any of the lights, on the wire coming from the positive terminal of the battery.

P=VI, Power is in Watts. So 55*4= 220. 220=12I, where I is current. The current going through should be about 18.33 in the ideal world. I'd add about 5 for resistance, so go with a 25 amp fuse. You could even get away with a 20, because the battery runs slightly higher than 12. To get an exactly accurate number, use a multi-meter to take the voltage at the ends of the wires, where you are going to attach the lights, and just use that. 25 would be fine though.
