I just recieved a package in the mail today containing NARVA RALLY GOLD H3(2). I have seen these fogs on some of the maximas here on the org. They look awesome. I have a couple of aftermarket 9004 on my car and one burned the harness really bad. I'm kinda scared to install them. I don't want to burn my H3 harness either. I am just wanted to know before I install them, do I need an upgraded harness for any aftermarket H3? oh yeah...these are about 85w.

What about those PIAA Xtreme white fogs that they sell @ custommaxima? Will I need a harness? I am going to be buying those on Monday.

Nevermind...I just looked at the site and its a 55 watt bulb that puts out the light of a 110 watt bulb. Harness no needed...and its legal!

Where could I get an upgraded harness for our fogs? I looked on ebay but they only had one for 9004.

WTF, How could you melt a H3 harness? Its not even a harness. You would have to upgrade the wire, since that all it basicly is. My friend was running 85W bulbs on his 01max in teh fogs. THe bulb blew, but the wire/connector was still good.

That's right...that happen to me. I bought some aftermarket H3s and they blew. Where can I get this kind of wire? Can I just get this at home depot or does it need to be a aftermarket thing?

I suppose you could buy a 14-12 guage wire and use the stock connector or find a new connector.

pull the socket out, squirt some di-electric grease in there, and plug it back in.

Or chop off the socket and solder directly to the bulb leads.

Or you can add spade connectors so that you can still disconnect if you ever need to for any reason.

oh yeah, forgot about that. I assumed his socket was melted beyond hope. If not, then spades are cool!

They make an H3 85 watt bulb also. Had them nearly 2 years now. Stock harness.

Thanks guys for all the responses. I think I'm gonna buy the di-electric grease and spade connectors,
then install them later on today.

it will come. I had my 85w bulbs with stcokies for 7 months before they just decided to burn out.

I just posted in another thread about my 80/100 mtec bulbs. I gave instructions on how to lower the chance of melting harnesses. Mine's still going strong for over a year.
