hey, you lighting experts
I normally don't give a crap about lighting, but I decided I want something different than I currently have in my foglights.
Do you guys think the stock wiring harness for the fog lights can handle 85 watt bulbs?
I don't really want to bother with upgrading the wiring harness, but the cost difference between 55w and 85w is negligible, so I thought I might just order the stronger bulbs.
Any thoughts or ideas?
thanks,
chris

I don't really have much to say because I don't have foglights at all, and I'm sure the OEM harness is different than aftermarket ones, why not try finding an H3 upgraded wiring harness on ebay and go from there

I guess I could see the corner lamp thing if your running a higher wattage bulb, but be careful, as when the cornering lamp is on it is really bright for oncoming drivers. Also if you wire it right, you can have the corner lamp rewire and the fog light rewire, and still be able to pull your corner lamp and take it to a bench just by disconnecting the little connector.
