Default Headlight bulb question

I need to replace my headlight bulbs. I wanted to try the Silverstars, but while looking around my house I found a set of H7 bulbs from my motorcycle.
However, they are 100w, and the ones in the car I believe are 55w. What would happen if I used them? Am I looking for trouble by using them, or would they be just fine?

Thanks!

I wouldn't want to find out what would happen if anything actually did happen.

Just get the Silverstars, I use them on my s70 and love them. Both in my Low and High beams. I would say this, save your money and get HID's in your Low Beams.

You might burn the wiring using the 100 Watt bulbs.
