Bulb replacement question (wattage)

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33710

this ebay auction has a pair of bulbs I want to purchase but the auction says they are 100/90 wattage when our wiring can only handle 65/55? something like that without burning the harness. Will these bulbs fit and work well in a 2001 SE?

I asked the same question yesterday about putting in higher wattage H3 fog light bulbs. The consensus was to avoid them unless you put in a new harness/wiring that can handle the watts. Try to find bulbs that match the OEM specs. Also, i'd avoid any headlights that sell for $9.99 on ebay (IMO). Chances are they'll burn out on you a lot faster then let's say, buying a nice set up PIAA's (come with warranty), or any other respectable mannufacturer.
