Anybody Using 100w Foglight Bulbs?
So I just picked up a set of oem foglights on eBay ($150 and still in the factory packaging = SCORE) and I wanted to put in 3000k yellow bulbs before installing. I have a set of 100w yellows that I bought on accident like 3 years ago for my Prelude and never returned. I was considering using them.
I want to know if anyone has installed a similar wattage bulb in their fogs and if there have been any problems with wiring or other components being affected. The oem bulb is like 35w, right?

Bad idea, the OEM housings and wiring are not designed for the current draw and heat of the higher wattage bulbs which are 55W. Plus the high-watt ones will have a very short life. Don't use them.
