Headlights, wattage rating

Does anyone out there know what the wattage rating is on the standard #9004 headlight bulbs? I am buying a set of these Xenon HID hyperwhite bulbs and was wondering if the circuit breaker will handle these bulbs, they are rated at 100/80 watts. Are there any states that outlaw these bulbs? I was wondering because you don't see many of them.

I'm pretty sure the stocker's are 55 low and 60 high beam. The headlight switch on these trucks are very weak, so you may have some problems with it. I know people who are on there 4th and 5th switches after switching to highpower headlamps. If you make some sort of relay, you'd be better off.
