bulbs... wattage/output
the fog/driving lamps i have are these:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...spagename=WDVW
they come with a 12v 35 watt h3 bulb which isnt enough for me so i want to replace the bulbs with something better.
so i went to www.piaa.com and eBay to check out some h3 bulbs and notice the wattage may seem too high for my fog lamps? mine are 35w and the ones i see listed are like 55w = 110 xtra, 55w = 85w, etc.
i want to know which wattage limit i can run without blowing or damaging my fog lamps? can the 2 ratings up their^ be used with no problems? please let me know whats safe and what not.
thanks in advance

pretty sure if you use standard 55w h3 bulbs, it would still be fine. 35w is kinda low, most foglights uses 55w. and I don't think even 100w bulbs will blow your foglights, u may have some burnt wires, but the lenses shouldn't be blown up due to the heat from even a 100w bulb.
