headlights and foglights
Im trying to upgrade the foglights in my truck, I just need a little help from someone who understands electricity and wireing more than I do.
Heres my idea... I have some random xenon h7 100w bulbs laying around that I have no use for, so I figured I would throw them into my foglights. Obviously I would have to make modifications to the connectors and what not... possibly find a different fog light housing, Posably with a projector lense... I have no problem getting the bulbs to work in the housing... that stuff is easy for me.
Obviously if I move from this bulb (which I think is around 45 watts) to a 100 w bulb I will run into trouble... I was planning on running new wires that can easily handle the current, and a fuse and what not.
I would like to use the factory foglight switch, the one on the headlight **** when you just pull it out... Would the switch even handle the extra current to power the 100watt bulbs?
Would I have to have a entirely different switch to power these lights?
Also, what amperage fuse should I use for the 100 watt bulbs?

RE: headlights and foglights
if u do i would use a relay from the exsisting fog light wiring to run them. that way they will op.with the factery switch.the fac. f.l. housing will mostlikey melt with 100w bulbs in them. i have silver stars in my f.l. and there strating to buble from heat.
