The issue here to start with is whether you have a dimmer on the circuit. If you do, the bulbs you got are the bulbs you can use. If it is a switch, you can install the curly bulb flourescent types... each one uses the equivalent of 11 watts per and gives off light like 60... the halogens you desire are usually 24 volt and would take a re and re of the old fixture and replacing it with a new 24 volt halo light fixture set. The 24 volt halos last a month or 2... are really poop when it comes to life for sure... they look nice but the bulbs are expensive to replace.... go with the curlys in what you got would be my suggestion...

halogens put out a lot of heat. Not a matter of voltage, but Voltage and amperage, together. I would use fluorescent bulbs.

I would change the fixtures to be safe, halogen bulbs get real hot.

I'm sure you can,but don't do it.Look at manufacturers lable and they will tell you the watage.Most can's don't take bulb's that are that hot.Your only asking for a fire.
