08 parking lights...

not sure what stock wattage is on the front parking light bulbs, but does anyone know the maximum wattage/size i can get away with without melting the plastic? i am running the parking lights essentially as DRL's (on with the ignition) but they just don't have much output considering how huge the fixture is. thanks.

bumping it to the top...looked in the owners manual all it indicated is the type of bulb. Not much help.

Have you tried to pull the bulb in one and look at the connection? Maybe it would say there?
