Default light bulbs

i just got some new light bulbs for my '01 a4. i did not get the hid system w/ the car, so i went out to get some brighter bulbs that are coated blue. after i purchased and installed them, i found the forum and realized that many of u dont reccommend these kind of bulbs. The bulbs are at a higher wattage, 100/80 watts. would this melt any of my wires or ruin anything? cuz the store i bought them from said it would be fine.

Could blow fuses and melt internal headlight components, I believe.
