hids for your fogs will not void warrenty, they plug into factory harness, if there were to be problems, unplug and plug in you stock bulbs.

As far as wattage goes I heard to stay away from 55 watts bulbs because they melt your housing?

But is it safe to put a bulb that draws 55w. Because I was talking to the parts department guy at the dealership and he said if I want to replace the foglights to stay with the same wattage or lower.
