Fog light watts question
Hey, I just installed nokya 8500k 80w bulbs on my fog lights for my car and was wonderin if I should take them off because I've been readin that its bad to have such high wattage? Thanks.
it can melt the harness if the watts are rated higher than the oem bulb. it happened to my accord. even with a power adaptor that piggy backs off the battery to give it more juice, it still melted.

Lexus (as well as other higher end vehicles) has a higher tolerance for heat/current in the wires they use. For the piece of mind I wouldn't. If you don't want to take them out just don't use them that much.

You should be fine with that. What they mean is that the bulb only draws 55W but the output (brightness) will look like if you have a 150W bulb.
