Just wondering if the added current is an issue for a stock 2005 F250 wiring harness?

Yes, they will end up melting the wiring plug that plugs into the bulbs.

The factory wiring is designed for 55W bulbs. By the way, those 100W bulbs are usually for "off road use only". If you intend to use them, a relay harness is typically required.

Typically if your not happy with a regular 55watt high performance light you're not going to be happy adding more watts, its usually the pattern or the alignment that is your issue.
