Do not use higher wattage bulbs than what the assembly calls for. At best it will melt the wiring at the harness, at worst, it will melt the headlamp assembly socket receiver where the bulb goes in or cause a short in the system.

Never put anything higher wattage than spec'ed, you will melt your housing away. Try to return the bulbs. If you really want to go brighter, you can do a HID conversion, but you'll have to pull your DRL fuse for that to work.
