Guest thelosmos Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Hey everyone. I've searched and can't seem to put together an answer. Has anyone run into any issues running 75w fog bulbs in place of the stock 55w? Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest thelosmos Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I've seen that as well. Although HID are supposed to run at lower temp than the halogen setups. I want to put in some yellow fog bulbs (no films), but can only find them in 70watt setups. I'm not sure what the factory wiring will hold up to without burning up. Also, has anyone melted the housing running a higher watt bulb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyd2005 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 My passenger side front headlight (low-beam) was out so I popped the cover to change it. The plastic electrical connector was melted and the wire was exposed. I definitely won't be running higher wattage bulbs anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a thread that mentions him: http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=45991&highlight=daniel+stern Put H3 Gold bulbs ($13.50/ea) in the fog lamps.I got them from http://store.candlepower.com/ which I believe is his site. Direct link to the H3 Gold: http://store.candlepower.com/h3bulbs.html As for headlights, I'm running these higher wattage bulbs, recommended by Daniel Stern in that thread. http://store.candlepower.com/osraulhiouh7.html They are significantly brighter than stock bulbs. Have been running them for a good year or so now. No problems here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
