Can I use 100 watt H3 foglights, or do i have to use the 55 watt version? Will the 100's **** up my wiring, or burn something, or kill my fuse, or should i just stick with the 55 w super brights I say the other day.

 

I tried this once and being the paranoid person I am, I took them out and put 55 watt back in because I was worried that the light housing was going to burn. When I had the 100 Watt in and touched the lense, it seemed really hot.

I would like to know this answer as well.

 

Since we are talking about bulbs. Can you put 100W H4 in the cefiros?
Will it **** the housing? or should just stick with 55W Ultra Whites.
My cefiros came w/ 100 but one of them burned. They lit up the hole block
Thanks

 

I think the more wattage bulbs you use 85-100, you will get a dis-color look inside the housing of the fogs or eventually burn themout if you use your fogs 24/7. I did that before on my acura (had the fogs rewired and ran them 10/7) and i completely burnout the housing. Had to buy 2 new fogs and that was costly. I am running silver stars in my I35 fogs and they are suppose to be 55watts however, something sylvania does to the bulbs, they are rated at 85 watts. I am a little paranoid of that, but I only put on my fogs when I want to show off or in a poorly lit area.

 

well, my fogs are rewired yet, and I dont even run them everynight, but a friend of mine changed his fogs from 55 to 100, and the difference was super clear. I just dont wanna have to change the whole unit out if itz gonna mess up everything.

 

No to all questions asked above! I believe you have to upgrade the harnesses !

 

100w bulbs will heat up the plastic housing of the fog lights....and when you hit a puddle and it splashes on the fog lights the lens will crack. Happens to guys all the time.

 

Thanks for the info, I guess i'll just have to find some bright 55 w fogs. Any suggestions other that silverstars?

 

are u serious...i have 100 watt in mine and i havent seen any downsides yet...

 

How long have u had them in?

 

PIAA H3 extreme whites come close to hid look.

 

what bulbs are the stock ones in fogs ?!? they look really bright and hot to touch after runnin them for a while. One thing, I am not sure if I have the stock ones coz I bought the car after it was driven for 96k.

 

Over the years I have heard of many guys cracking their fogs because of too high wattage of bulbs.

 

He also may not be driving his car or running his fogs all the time like i did. I had my fogs rewired and would drive with the park lights on all the time. Housing burnt completely out and it would have destroyed my engine harness. Luckily nothing electrical happened.

 

guess what im eating my words...my fogs stopped tonite...hehehe....sucks for me...im totally F-cking up my first car...

 

the housing burnt out??u meant that metal stuff the bulb connects to??i dunno
