fog light wiring

I have just installed a Westin Bull Bar on my 05 EB. Along with the bull bar I have purchased a set of Hella 550 fog lights (55watts each) that I want to wire up. I am considering wiring the in parallel with the factory lights. Do you think the existing wiring would handle the additional load? I will of course still have a switch to cut the upper lights off in the factory lights are enough However my question is again if the factory fog light wiring would handle the load.
Thanks

Since you're going to run the additional lights through a separate switch anyway, I would run a separate circuit directly from the battery fused at 10A. Either use a 10A rated switch, or use the switch to control a relay. I definitely would not recommend running these lights off the factory fog light wires.
