Fog Light Bulb Wattage? What will work?

Hey guy's! just repalced my Fog Light Bulbs to Reg White "Nokya" 100W Bulbs, Just wanted to get rid of the Yellow Factory Ugly Bulb color! Is it Ok to run this 100W bulb? The Factory Bulb is 55W. I had the light on for like 5-10min, to see how hot the Fog Light Bulb would get, but it was not real hot, but hot like a reg bulb world be, Guess I am saying not extremely HOT! But Warmish, LOL. SO Just wanted your Guy's Input on this? IF the Wiring will be ok, or will it burn up the Connector? I remember reading some guy's harneses burned up because of a too hot of a Bulb? Think I read it for like Maxima's and older G's? Not sure? Would appreciate any Advice!? THnx MIKE

Oh no... just kiddin'.. its gonna stress out your stock harness 100W is too much without upgrading any wirings or even putting a relay

I'm thinking your going to end up burning up your harness. If you want to run the higher wattage bulb, you'd be better off installing heavier gauge wiring and a relay.
(Like /\ said)

Yea thank's guy's! Think I goofed and bought the wrong Bulbs, I ordered another set from "HOEN". another member on here used these bulbs, and they look nice! the ones I bought still had a Dull White look, and it was a 100W bulb output! So No using these "Nokya" bulbs for me! If anyone wants these let me know?
