H3 Upgrade Harness for Fogs?

I was thinking about redoing my headlight bulbs with the Nokya bulbs and I wanted to get the same bulb for my fogs so that the lights all match. The problem is I hear the Nokya bulbs burn out harnesses, that is not a problem to get an upgrade for the headlights but I cant find one for the H3 headlight. Is there anywhere I can get an H3 upgrade harness or if not will these bulbs burn the stock H3 harness?

Thanks in advanced.

Hot Fog Lights

Just a quick FYI,

I'm sure people have chaged the harness out to accomodate the higher wattage bulbs, however one problem that you could run into is that the higher wattage bulbs produce more heat, thus making the glass really hot.

If any type of water were to splah on the stock foglight glass, there is an incredibly high chance that it will break.

Just letting you know since I've seen a few gone through the process on other vehicles.

There is a problem here guys...the fog lights don't have a harness it's more of a wire than anything. This was an issue before i purchased a pair of narva rally golds. You really can do the upgrade yourself: 1.) buy some 14 or 16 gauge wire to replace the smaller stock wire.
2.) when installing the bulbs, use some silicone compound as well.

As for the glass, i've had the golds on for about 6 months and no cracking.
