Despite what the seller stated, there is evidence that a more powerful bulb may affect your wiring. In my case, I used 100/65W H4's in a Japanese car. After about 18 momths, the sockets that fit to the bulb were badly corroded (or whatever) due to the higher current which meant more heat across the connections. (Fitting higher wattage bulbs must increase the current and it then depends on the wire gauge/design of connectors whetehr there will be any bad effect.) Car makers tend to use the minimum wire gauge that satisfies their design - increasing wattage puts you more at risk
