wattage for our fog lights
Searched the form and online.
From online, I think oem 9006 fogs are 51 watt. There were no pic, and I wasn't sure I am looking at the right part.
Does this mean when buying replacement 9006 bulbs, keep it no more than 51 watt to prevent overheating?

I am not an electricity engineer or anything, but you may use lower wattage bulbs than the standard but if you use higher wattage bulb, can cause burnout of the light bulbs(over heat).

Halogen uses a filament in the bulb and HID uses electric current to excite gas inside of bulb to create the light. Hids take less wattage to create more lumens of light than a halogen bulb will..there is a way more scientific explanation but this is the cliff note version. Hids burn much cooler and more efficient than halogen as well
