100w fog bulbs in 00?
Can the OEM fog housing handle a 100w foglight bulb without blowing fuses??

wrong forum buddy

try posting in the 5th gen. but with any increase in heat from high wattage bulbs will risk damage to the housing and the stock wiring harness.

Not sure if you'll blow any fuses, but you'll probably melt the harness, since it was only intended for 55W maximum, IIRC.

You will definately melt the harness, and then you have a very big repair bill on your hands to replace it. Stay away from doing it
