100W?! A lamp with that high a wattage is going to eventually fry your wiring harness if it doesn't pop a fuse first! No to mention the heat from something like that will most likely start to melt the plastic bits in your headlight. I'd be very careful running those. I used to work at a dealer and I have seen what can happen first hand. Personally, I wouldn't go higher than 85W with an incandescent lamp.

If you want REALLY bright light, save your pennies and get the McCulloch HID kit. It's worth every penny you'll spend.
