stock is 60 watts
your gonna burn up your electrical system and possibly melt your headlight housing if the wires dont go up in smoke first...

ive had these lights for a long time sittin around. I bent the stock bracket and broke the plastic after i rolled it off a dune at the beach. im going riding about 3 hours from my house in a week and i needed lights cause were doin a bunch of night riding. i just dont want to get there and have my stuff burn up.
Welp, I feel like an arse...guess I need to read a little closer. I was thinkin about the 400EX, not the 300EX as he described... :o
I'll duck out of this one.... :D
actually, if you are adding (2) 55watt bulbs instead of using the stock (1) 55watt, you will be doubling the wattage... again, not a good thing for the stock electical system/wires....if they are used together.

I don't think your lighting system will last long running 110W worth of lights on a 60W system. The most you can run on a 250r, which puts out the same if not more lighting power is 2 35W lights. To run a pair of 50W lights you have to get your stator rewound by ricky stator or someone similar to boost its output to 120W.
