u don't need to really change all the wiring just to upgrade to PIAAs...but just take into consideration that H3s are one of the easiest bulbs to blow..

if you want to upgrade the harnesses, i think you can buy these harnesses from local autopart stores. they have clips so you can just plug them in..

the PIAAs are at 55w and i read the stock fogs run 35w. that's okay? if so, i'll do it this week to get a closer match to the HIDs.

it should be ok..read the labels on the box carefully..sometimes the bulbs will draw only stock current and produce brightness of higher wattage..

It amazes me that every so often I have heard the rumors that PIAA's blow quickly. I have multiple sets on my Maxima for a year and not one has blown. All different sizes to boot.......it is like most manufactured parts, you could get a defective one but their customer service is 1st rate! I did not like a color....so I called and they forwarded a new one via Fedex at their dime! Lets see Raybud? or others promote their products in a similar fashion. Go with PIAA and if your looking for a discount try www.autobulbdepot.com or www.autosupermart.com.
