I wouldn't go much higher then a 55w draw though on stock wiring. THe wiring kit that came with my Hella'* was noticably thicker after the relay compared to th fog leads.
Unless you bypass it, the lights on stock leads will cutout with high beams. That'* one reason why I did the full kit in february.

I'm running 100W H3'* with no problems whatsoever (even on a hot day, my wiring stays cool) and I did the bypass for the fogs to stay on with brights, while still using just the stock wiring for the fog circuit.

Stock wiring just bypassed the ground for the fogs

Splice for the H3. I burnt a 55W during WCBF and figured I'd try the 100 Watt H3'*. No problems for over a month.
Do NOT run 100W H3'* in stock housings. They have plastic lenses. Do this with a glass-lensed aftermarket light housing ONLY.

Thanks Will:
When I get around to installing some decent lights I may take two burnt out 880 bulbs and solder on, the H3 plug, to the poles that the filament attaches to then encapsulate the wiring with shrink tubing. Then if I want to go back to a stock set up all I have to do is unplug the adapter and reinstall the stock housing with the 880 bulb.
Then again I could just cut the stock wiring and install a bullet connector.
