Default HELP!! HID aftermarkt bulbs

Ok I think this has been debated before but I need to know asap so please respond asap! I just bought some "HID" bulbs for my 6th gen sedan. I bought 9005 and 9006 bulbs. I know the factory OEM 9006 is rated for 55w. What is the max wattage for the high beams (9005). The ones I bought are rated at 80w for the 9006 and 100w for the 9005. Do i need to worry about burning anything out in my car? wires? fuses, etc? Or can I use these in my car? Where I got them they specifically told me I would not burn anything out and do not need to modify anything in my car. I know when you buy PIAA's they say 55w draw current and like 80-100w light output. Should I keep them or return them and get my money back. I want the HID look since I can't afford the real thing, so what do you guys recommend? I need to know asap please. Thanks in advance.

Return them, the wires aren't meant to handle that much of a draw. They'll also burn hotter which isn't too good for your housing. You won't have problems at first, but you will eventually.
