H3 Bulbs........
Has any of you guys had any experience installing H3 fog light bulbs higher than 55 watts??? I just got me some Super White H3 bulbs but they are 80 watts. Has anyone had bad experience with this kind before?? Any suggestions???

Thanks a lot for your help

To answer your question correctly,
IF you are running a higher wattage bulb, you run the chance of either melting your harness, or melting the housing for the fogs.
It is highly recommended that you stay with the stock wattage.
