Default Fog Lights Super Hot

Thats why I recommend Luminics ... 55w

you click on your bulb size on the bottom... or click on krypton series for a bigger bulb- still 55w

No need to worry about harness melting or wire melting...

As long as you don't go over the recommended wattage, you should be ok.
