Great thanks. is their any benefit to do fogs in 55w. And what is the purpose of using 55w is it just brighter

i personally wouldnt run 55w ballasts in the fogs because the fogs are relatively small and you might run into them getting hot.. n yes 55 watt is just brighter as far as I am aware.. I'd just stick with 35w, they are still really bright!
