Question Headlight Question

I just yesterday installed 5900K white light headlight bulbs. and i was wondering if that will cause any melting of my harness because the lights being possibly to hot or melting the headlight housing..

Thanks for your time

So you bought regular bulbs that look like 5900k?

If that's the case then they are probably 100 watt.
