It's illegal, and quite rude to the drivers in front of you and to oncoming traffic.

You will also be pulling about twice the current. That may cause a problem with the contacts on the headlight relay and other wiring problems. The extra heat that they develop can cause problems also.
In the short term, most likely nothing major will happen, but after a while you may start having problems.

you can install the 100 watt bulbs, but you likely wont see much difference in light output because the reflectors are designed for the 55 watt bulbs. also if you have plastic lenses, you run the risk of the higher heat damaging those lenses.
