Looks like you have an alternator problem to me. The alternator should put out between 13.5 and 14.5 volts at idle. 12.7 is too low as a fully charged battery will show at least 12.6 volts.

Its still 14 volts at idle ,, it only with everything switched on that it goes down to 12.7 volts ,lights, main beam, heater etc ,its just halogen bulbs must draw more current than a old fashioned filament bulb.

Amps is equal to watts divided by volts so a 12V 60W bulb will draw the same current (amps) regardless of what it's made of.
