Yep, the PO of my car installed 90/100W bulbs with no other upgrades. A swap back to 55/60W bulbs actually yielded INCREASED light output. I was seeing 8.0-8.5V at the bulbs with the 90/100W bulbs in there... that's just sick.

All of my headlight wiring has turned a rather ugly color, and will all need to be re-run. Don't take Dan's warnings lightly. I have no idea how long the bulbs were in there, but still, scary. I'm amazed the car hadn't already caught fire.....
