Default I accidently bought 100W headlights...

Is it safe to use? What are the side-effects? How can I prevent damage without buying an upgrade harness (can I make my own?)

Personally, I'd worry more about what placing nearly twice the heat of the 55 watt stock bulbs inside a plastic box will do, than what running some extra current through the dash and wires will.

My 100 watts burned my plastic connectors so it made me upgrade my harness.

Are 9005 and 9006 interchangeable?

I guess I can use 100W highbeams.
