Whats the difference between 55w-150w

So i just wanna know what the lighting difference is between regular 55w bulbs that come in standard off road lights. Im getting some 6" pilot navigators for oober cheap and saw it comes with 55w bulbs. Im trying to understand is 150W bulbs really worth the price to replace the current ones. Im seeing if you guys maybe have some pictures comparing the two next to each other.

about 95 more watts....

Most guys go with 100w bulbs since you don't have to upgrade much (if any) of the lighting system..

If you went with 150w bulbs you would need to run 12guage power/ground wires. Most light kits come with 16guage wiring...
