fog light bulb help please

i have ccfl halo headlights with the upgraded nokya 80w 7000k arctic white bulbs. i want to order the same bulbs (but h11 of course so it fits the fogs) for my fog lights so they match. do i just order the bulbs or do i need a harness or anything like that? and i assume the install is probably pretty simple. Thanks!

so the bulbs in your headlights arent HIDS, just halogen bulbs? If so then yes, im sure you would just get the bulbs, i dont know if the foglight electrical can handle 80w's though...and I dont know how you would do a relay harness without an HID kit...wait, someone will chime in

I think getting 80w bulbs without the ballasts is pushing it. I have my HID relay harness' hooked up with my highs and lows and I would say that if your going to do them with your fogs, I'd get a relay harness.

I would recommend 55w. You'll get longer bulb life, less heat, and less stress on the wiring. You'll lose some brightness, but it's only fog lights, they're mostly for appearance anyways. Too much light up close makes it harder to see in the distance.
