I was looking to get a set of yellow fog lights but I don't want to burn up my socket..so what's a safe wattage to run as a foglight??

 

any standard H11 halogen bulbs in yellow would be fine.

 

An H11 3,000k Kit would look great!

 

ok good, cause i was jw i saw on the internet that if u ran to high of a wattage that it would burn up the foglight socket.. would 100 watt h11 yellow bulb be to much ?? or should i go with a 55 watt.. i just want it to look good and have no problems with them ya know

 

I run a 55W in my fogs right now courtesy of BuyHIDs. I wouldn't use the 100W bulb though, I think that might be a tad to much.

 

55w is even too much sometimes. You'll need extra hardware.
35w does it for me.

 

What extra hardware did you need? I didn't need any?

 

I believe hes talking about a relay harness. There highly recommended but not required to work...

 

I wouldn't run anything over a 35w hid kit as anything higher could risk damaging the chrome on such a small reflector bowl. I also wouldn't run a high watt halogen bulb either due to the heat.

a 55w halogen bulb should be ok. Remember, the brighter the light is closer to the car, the harder it will be to see in the distance.

 

beat me to it

35W will be good

 

Plus if you are running more than 35W for hids you are just gonna **** people off. Honestly the only time i'd recommend 55W is if you do most of your driving on the backroads where there are no street lights.

 

That's what I meant.
It's almost required since people always have problems trying to run 55's without one, lol.

 

I have 55 watt kits in my fogs and my gen 1 projectors with no issues. Drove 10 hours yesterday from Rhode island to Virginia with the fogs on the entire way and headlights for about half the way with no issues

 

I run 55w HID kit in my foglights. I enjoy it and have never had an issue with anyone

 

I run 55W in my fogs right now, I've never had an issue with them.
