Ladies and Gents

While in the local Canadian Tire, looking for a headlight bulb for my 2009 Aveo, I noticed that bulbs for snowmobiles etc were in the next aisle. Being a gearhead, I picked up the correct bulb, and took a look at the bulbs in the other section. I found that some of the bulbs in the section are exactly the same outside dimensions, etc. The only difference is the output...80/100w. This compared to our standard lights seems alot brighter. I'd love to try it for fun, as I drive alot at night on back roads, but am worried about melting my light housing. Just an observation that might work in a pinch.
