    I wouldn't want to run 90w low beams, the bulb and maybe the wiring will get hot and other drivers may not like it. I run hella 55/100 so I have the brights when I need it.

    I as well.

    The temperature is a valid concern for the housings jumping up that much in wattage. The remedy for lack of current carrying capacity of the wiring could be remedied with a relay.
