Power consumption is not the issue. A different wattage rating indicates the
maximim power a resistor can dissipate without damaging itself, so
technically, as long as a resistor is dissipating less power than it is
rated to dissipate, it can be used. The second issue is physical size.
Usually, higher wattage rated resistors a bigger, and simply won't fit. I do
believe the resistors to which you refer are exactly the same size as the
usual 1/4w resitors. If such is the case, they can be used with confidence.
