How safe is it to go non-stock wattage on fog lights?

Hey whats up guys. Ever since my little police incident I'm going hyper white, so somewhat stock lol.

I got cool blues for my head lights which look ALOT better than the stock ones, they are stock wattage though (too bad they don't make the silverstars in our size)

also got some polar-g 194's which look tight

now on to my question:

I KNOW ITS UNSAFE TO BUY HEADLIGHT BULBS OVER THE STOCK WATTAGE CAUSE THE WIRING WILL FRY. IF I BUY FOG LIGHTS BULBS ABOVE STOCK WATTAGE IS IT SAFE OR SHOULD I GO WITH STOCK? I was looking at these:

thanks, your comments appreciated

As many stories as I have heard of melted harnesses, I'd probably just stick with stock wattage. Maybe you are a bigger risk taker than me though.

later Bro.

The quality sucks, but you can see that they are not bad. The top is Piaa and the bottom is just some cheap stuff I got off ebay. In real life, it is just plain ****ing white, but in the photo it showed them not as white.....


yes, the H3 is the hardest bulb to install for this car.
