Question about watt for headlights?

Hey just a quick question.
I just picked up a sat of ecode headlights. What is the max watt for the bulbs? 55W? i have a set of 100w bulbs. Is this safe to use?

I think you are supposed to use the reccomended halogen wattage. I think that is 55w, but if you are using ecodes. then i would use HID's.

+1 to HIDs. In any event, you could be asking for trouble with 100W bulbs - the wiring harnesses may not be able to handle it. I've seen such bulbs melt harnesses on other cars.
