The fun part about overloading your headlight circuitry is that when you melt the wires or blow a fuse, it will probably be when you need your headights the most.

Let's see, you're talking about overloading the headlight circuitry in your car by a factor of nearly two or four - aside from the fact the lights you want to install may not even be legal, what do you think is going to happen?

Common sense would tell you that no, you can't. Electrical engineers designed the lighting system and the myriad of other electrical components in that car. There's some unknown safety margin, and it's not 2-4x more current than anticipated levels. 


@justin-shepherd ok thx saty in 55watt.
