So i was wondering if anyone has heard of blowning a fuse from running bulbs with higher wattages? I do intend to use an uprated wire harness but doesn't the fuse blow first before the wire harness gets fried? Are the fuses pretty easy to buy and replace? Im quite a noob with regards to electrical stuff.

I know a lot of people run the 80w bulbs (on low beams 9006) with no issues on stock harnesses but i was thinking of 100w but wasn't sure if that would be a little too much for the fuse.
