Ok. So I was not 100% sure this goes here. So move it please if need be. I am getting 6 100 watt lights. Is that too much draw for the stock renix alternator?

With zero heat loss in the connections, its 50 amps. Round that up to 60 amps with all the connections unless you solder every single one of them.

Too many variables to answer your question.
If I pick one it is Yes that's too much. You will be dumping half of your total output into the lights.
YMMV
