H3 for lights watts?

i was wondering if anyone know's how much watts the H3 for fog lights need 2 be. I got nokya ones and there 80 watts is that too much cuz i don't want it to burn out my wiring harness.it says 55/w stock-->80/w nokya. i think its saying stick is 55 and nokya is 80.usually isee like razos & piaa saying 55/w=80/w or sumthing lik that.well if sum1 would let me know Thanks

I believe its 55. You'll undoubtedly blow a nokya fog in your max. I blew out three before I switched to PIAA.

Not necessarily, its still suppost to be 55watt. I just dont do much night driving. Btw Im gettin the Yokos slappen on tomorrow and might just go to Firebird as well. Im also gonna see if Alex has any Toks in stock when I get the tires if so the next time u see my car it will be slammed and I wont have the slicks no more.

Sweet, well I'm back on my stockers and my car feels considerably quicker now. I want to get to Firebird one last time before the summer when its pointless to go.

They're not THAT yellow....its yellower than stock but nothing close to Lexus~ the MTEC golden are pretty close, but i doubt they opperate at 55w. so i dont want them...
im on my 4th pair of H3 bulbs, they were hiper(2), wizard, and some other brand THESE BRANDS BURNT OUT IN 2 WEEKS all of them...~!!
lucky my friend hooks it up, i just trade a burnt set for a new one~
im gonna just upgrade to xtreme white PIAA's

I installed by Piaa Extreme Whites H3 fogs yesterday and after having them on for an hour they blew a fuse. Has this happened to anyone else?
