I need to replace my foglight bulbs, I dont use them for fog much, I mainly use them in the mountains at night to give me more lateral vision. I see I can get 100watt ones. Anyone think why I shouldn't go to 100w? heat issues? electrical draw issues? I have the factory pulley set up TIA Oh, I just found some 85 watt ones.....hmmm Reply 0 0 Amfab View Public Profile Find More Posts by Amfab Jun 30, 2007 | 06:27 PM Share Share Options #2 Steve Nagata Racer Joined: Aug 2003 Posts: 250 Likes: 3 From: Canada 55W... DO NOT go 100W you will burn out your wiring harness. Hope that helps Reply 0 0 Steve Nagata View Public Profile Find More Posts by Steve Nagata Jun 30, 2007 | 06:34 PM Share Share Options #3 Mark in Baltimore Rennlist Member Joined: May 2002 Posts: 23,303 Likes: 510 From: Baltimore, MD I ran 100 watt bulbs in my Pathfinder's fog lamps many years ago and never had any problems. I checked the housings frequently for excess heat and inspected the wiring for scorching but detected no problems. Not sure if Porsche's wiring is marginal or as good as Nissan's.
