1. Hids do in fact come in 100w variants. They are also available in 75w.

2. I have had 100watt bulbs with a bigger fuse for almost 2 years now with stained yellow lenses and no problems or melting here. I doubt anything is gonna start melting or catching on fire now.

I can prove otherwise. When i get under the car ill take pictures of the carnage. I had to make it so the housings would hold bulbs anymore. You have a hotter bulb, in a confined glass housing with plastic behind it. may be melted in there if you havent checked recently.

im pretty sure it was not when it was both housings. The dealer he sold the car to just ripped alot of the electrical wiring out because shit wasnt working,which was alot of shit for me to repair. But the housings that hold the bulbs were completly melted into the housing and around the bulbs base.
