Unsure if I can use these fog bulbs
I purchased 2 100W Halogen H3 fog light bulbs yesterday for my Honda and realized that the 97' Maxima appears to use H3 fog bulbs, so i ordered another two as only one works, the other is blown. Can the stock housings/switch handle that additional current? I know I'll have to change the fuse.

Stick with the OEM bulbs.
Any higher wattage bulb will just bring problems.

To much heat for the housings.

100 watt bulbs don't fit unless you re shape the base. I installed over watt bulbs and sure enough the housings could not take it.
