The ex's car has been melted pretty badly, trashed the tails for sure.

The night time running lights in the rear are supposed to be 10w. I have a handful of 20w's at the house. Will it be ok to run a higher watt bulb in it? I know on light fixtures in the house its typically not a good idea, but this is pretty low power.
