Headlight Bulb Question

I have an 08 Equinox and wanted to replace the headlight bulbs with a brighter (5900K) bulb. I noticed that the OEM bulbs have a rating of 60/55W and the brighter bulb is 100/80W. My questions are,

1. Since the wattage is higher does that not mean that the current draw will be higher??.Looks like the draw would increase from 5A to 8.3A (approx).
2. Is the wiring able to handle the extra current?

Any input into this subject is appreciated

Thanks
