Does that mean I can save power by running a bigger wire to my headlight?

Yes and no.  You'll WASTE less power because more of the power will be used as light.  But you will USE more power, due to the higher voltage available at the headlight, which will burn brighter.  So this is no solution to your electrical system being overloaded.

It is a good day to ride.
