Soooooo I have 3 fixtures built into a board, each with a splitter. The Y splitters are screwed into a 65w max with 2 23w bulbs per main socket...

How stupid would it be to put 2 42 Watt bulbs per light socket maxed at 65w

your saying the "plug to mogul" connector is 65w max and the splitters aren't capped?
