Headlights

Can I upgrade to 100w/80w higher output headlight bulbs ...replacing my standard 65w/55w bulbs without upgrading any of the standard wires on the factory harness ?

No... factory wiring is too small for the added load. Even just upgrading the harness with stock wattage bulbs is an improvement. The new harness will eliminate the volatge drop to the headlights.
