Overwattage fog lights, anyone using them?
i seem to keep blowing fuses and i think its because my fogs are rated at 80Watts each, does anyone else have this problem? or know how to fix it?

I am currently using 100watt in my fogs with no probs yet. I have 80watt bulbs coming for my hi beams. Maybe be heat related?
