Yea those actually draw 80W, and will eventually heat your harness to melting point. Unless you're familiar with the physics of electricity the difference between volts and watts can be tricky. Simple explanation:
Watts = Amps x Volts x Length (of wiring harness)
Since these are 80W and the volts (12V) and the length/gauge of your (stock) harness is the same this means these bulbs will be drawing more power (amps) through the harness and this will cause a lot of heat to be generated through the harness. For now I would switch the 55W bulbs back in till you figure out how to upgrade the harness.
