Electrical - Fog Lights
I bought these replacement fog light bulbs on eBaY.....
<TABLE width=529 align=center border=0><TBODY><TR><TD vAlign=top width=199 height=111>
</TD><TD vAlign=top width=320>
High output Halogen Headlight Upgrade
European White Light, similar to High-Intensity Discharge (HID) Lighting, for optimum visibility.
Quick & easy install, no modification necessary.
No wiring upgrade necessary

It clearly says -> No wiring upgrade necessary.
But on the Nokya package, it says:
Warning: Wiring harness highly recommended!
So............................ which is correct?

Sylvania silverstar 9005's are correct.
pop right in...
They ROCK as far as being insanely bright, and after two years and 35K miles being on all the time (I use them as daytime safety lights) in hot hot and cold conditions have been completely reliable with no wiring upgrades...
...of course also check out the thread on fixing the light circuit so they stay on with high beams, that is tres
cool...

fog lites
The catalog I looked called for H10 bulbs. I to shop e-bay and mine just cautioned ov a wire overload. Mine have been for three years with no problem. I boughy head lights from the same guy who shipped direct from Hong kong. If your worried, turn them on and check the harness for heat. You can always install a relay but i don't think you'll have a problem.

get the upgrade.
if you dont in a couple of weeks/ months it will burn your wires. The kit I got from a local dealer was from street glow and was like 30 bucks. I boutch one for each car. it has 2 relays (1 right, one left) and plugged directly into the factory light socket and looped to the battery. 15 minute install minus having to re wire a factory plug into the burnt one.
well worth the money.
