Default Headlight upgrade

I was wondering if anyone knew if these light bulbs would pop the stock fuse or wiring. They are 90 watt low beams. I may shop around for some different brand but I would prefer to ahve the 90 low beam and the 100 high beam. Comments are much appreciated.

those might melt the wires....or blow a fuse before that. I'd just look into HIDs if you want more light on the road. $80 shipped for a nice set (mine are still working fine several months later...) and you have LOTS of light. PM me if you want the name of a reputable eBay seller at this price.

I've been running Bosch housings with 100/80 watt bulbs for over 9 years now with no problems at all.
