You should be OK if your headlight wiring is about 16 gauge. You can
google for the "ampacity" of stranded copper wire if you want to be
sure what the exact current rating of a particular AWG wire size is.
Your headlight is 35/36.5W.
It draws about 3 amps @ 12 volts and the 55/60 H4 halogen will draw
about 5 amps.
I replaced the 30/30watt halogens in my FZR with 55/60's and the only
other thing I did was increase the fuse size because my bike has twin
headlights that are on at the same time.
You should probably use at least a 10 amp fuse in your lighting
circuit if there is a separate headlight fuse.
