Aftermarket fog light bulbs

I purchased plasmaglow HID yellow xenon + krypton bulbs to replace my foglight bulbs with. They are 12V and 85W. Before i install them and possibly ruin something im coming to you guys. I was told the bulbs are too much power and could potentially ruin my foglights. Is this true? or was i misled? thanks.

Running a wattage higher than 55 risks frying your harness. Do NOT install those bulbs.

Do not put them in, goto HIDTECH.com and get the Lexus capsules. They are more yellow than any bulb alone and easy to install while using stock bulbs that cost less than $5 to replace.
