No. Our wiring supports 55/60W bulbs. Not to mention the fact that they are yellow, and headlights need to be white. Assuming they were the correct wattage, yellow would be okay for your fog lights.

technically. if you connect higher gauge wires to the terminals, via a direct battery feed controlled through relays from the stock wiring, you should be able to run whatever your electrical system can dish out. it is a DIY project. pretty simple but tedios.

and last time i played with the H4 socket i broke a piece of the plastic. it's pretty crappy since the wires are short and you have limited room to work with.

I've heard the hotter bulb will eventually melt the housing. Anyone else?
