I replaceded the head lights in my wife's car right before I did the 100w high beam mod. I still had the old head lights housings so I used them as test subjects.
To make sure the high beam wouldn't over heat I put a 100w bulb in one of the old head lights and connected it to my samlex 13.8v power supply. Then ran it for 2 or 3 hours.
It didn't do anything to the housing.
The 100w high beams have been on her car since January 2016. I think the longest they have ran continuously is maybe 20 minutes.

In the original post I already warned that OEM circuitry won't handle 100w high beams.
