Headlight Bulb Watts
Hey guys I ordered some H4 headlight bulbs on ebay. They were listed as 60/55 Watts, but the bulbs I received were 100/90 Watts. Is this bad for the system to install them?

Are you sure that they aren't 60/55 watt bulbs with an advertised equivalency of 100/90? Take a good, hard look at the packaging. If they really ARE 100/90, then not only will the wiring be a problem like Bill stated, the extra heat can damage and/or discolor the lens and housing.
