    Going to pick up some new bulbs for my 500s, really would like some more output without an HID upgrade. So my question is can I put 100 watt h3s in the 500s with out any problems, or should I stick to the 55 watt?

    The things required to pull bitches
    If you put 100 w bulbs in there you should upgrade all the wiring to 12g to accommodate the amps it requires.

    Watts/volts=amps

    12g can handle up to 20 amps.

    This^^^

    For that matter, you can buy the DDM tuning HID kit for what it would cost you to buy the 55w Sylvania Silver Stars...
