Default Will 90/100w bulbs be fine with stock wiring?

My dad just bought some bulbs from the local honda dealer for his 2000 si. On the package it says Nokya wiring harness is sugessted for the Nokya halogen lights. Do you think he should get the harnesses or will he be alright with them plugging right in with his stock wires? Thank you ahead of time for you info. -Allen

You will be fine......those need to pull a lot to fry wires. If the dealer sold them to you they are fine.

DO NOT DO IT!
I had the same wattage bulbs in and they were fine. One burnt out and i was away at skewl so i bought some nokyas. To make a long story short i had one fried and melted bulb and harness and the other one i had to take out to show the store. So when i went to do that one, it was fused to the harness. So i had to go buy a whole harness kit that handles extra power. so i got set back like 80 bux in the end after everything id say. You should be fine but do not use nokya, they are S H I T! the free ones i got after that, i had one burn out on me in a week. I hate that company. BTW i have a 99 SI.
