Question New Lighting

Hey all New site looks great, takin a little gettin used to. Just installed some new lighting and had a little problem. Replaced the 9005 fog lights with 100w bulbs. It immediately blew the fuse. Replaced with 65w bulbs and no trouble. Do I need to use the harness upgrade everyone is talking about? Installed a set of Sylvania Xenarc bulbs in the headlights. This is like night and day. Much brighter and whiter. Would recommend them to anyone. I want to install some back-up lights, but am unsure what kind, mount, wiring, etc.

Thanks
Jimmie
