in order to upgrade my fogs to piaas (35W TO 55W) i'm gonna have to upgrade my wiring, in which case i might as well just upgrade to the 85w lights.
any idea what gauge i need to go to? and where the heck do the other end of the wires end up? i'm assuming that the only wires that need to replaced are the power and ground leading to the lights and not any fuses or relays since the new lights are still 12v. i'm not a wiring guy so please correct me if i'm wrong.

Hopefully, if all goes well, I will be able to help you next week/weekend. Is this just bulbs or complete fog lamp kit with housings?

PM me later if you don't find someone else to help.

I say...

we appoint Ice as the official "wiring engineer" for the Y2K+ Maximas!

I would be interested in this as well. So instead of bugging him (Ice) more than I have already post the results here so I can reap the benefits of someone elses hard work as well!

Thanks
