nevermind just found out how to but let me tell you is not as easy at it may look specially if the bolts holding the cover under the bumper are rusted like mine it took me more to take them out and replace them with some new bolts than to replace the bulb itself

one more thing i just put 100w like my cousin but needed to cut a small nip than the 55w don't have so far he using the regular sylvania 100w for almost a month without a problem anyone else using it

Use periods. I got a headache. I give that wiring harness no more 2 months before it burns it up. With more wattage you're asking for more amperage that the little 18 AWG wire can't handle. Either you will blow the fuse and/or the wiring will get so hot it will melt the insulation. You don't need to take out the foglight housing to switch out the bulbs. Use PB Blaster for the rusty bolts. I purposley broke mine off. Drilled the bolt out then tapped in new ones. I've replaced my foglight housings 3 times now becuase of road construction.

is this your own experience or thats a guess

oh one more thing i just checked and if it is true is a 18 awg then it should be good for 16 amps and if i'm right

100W/12v=8.3 amps

Converting Watts to Amps

The conversion of Watts to Amps is governed by the equation Amps = Watts/Volts

For example 12 watts/12 volts = 1 amp
Correction there is an amps x 1.1 factor when using dc(car) power so exact amps should be 9.13

the fuse is a 10 amps so it should be fine again someone correct me if i'm wrong
