Can our cars handle 135/125W Bulbs safely?

I bought some Hiperwhite Bulbs that are 135/125W and I was wondering if that is safe enough to put on the factory wires. I don't want it to melt or screw anything up if you know what I mean. I have 100/90W Hiperwhites in right now and they are not that bright, so I am gonna try these out.

thanks for any help!

whoa 135/125?! if thats the combined wattage then it should be fine haha.. but seriously, that is way too much. even 100/90 is too much. you should try to find bulbs that have the closest wattage to stock as possible. around 55-65 w i think

those look so cheap. but i think they mean they draw 60/55w and put out "135/125w" light. look on the base of the bulb, it should tell you the actual wattage

Yeah, I agree. On the case it says 60/55w. I think that means they are as bright as 135/125w bulbs. You should be fine.
