Default chengybaby? uhhh....

nicole? Are YOU s4demie? LOL.

100w bulbs in the foglights *could* cause heat damage...it was discussed a long time ago. Since the foglight enclosure is so small...they might melt. And if they do, it's $150 to replace each one....<p>Cheng.Kwan

Default My advice is to not do it!

Trust me dont do it..

It will work for a while. Then on a long night drive you will get a smell.. Then you wil notice the column is HOT. Then the head lights will flash with your blinker. Then as you need them the most they go out...

Don't ask how I know this

Yeah, I think so. Need a good mail-order source though.

I've been running 100W bulbs in the fogs all summer during the day. No problems.
