won't the high amp draw of the big lights cause the stock fog light wiring to melt?
That was the only reason why I never hooked it up that way.
I'd love to reuse the stock fog light wiring for lights.
So much cleaner and easier.
Ken I wouldn't imagine so.. The OEM fogs on the 02-04's use a 55 watt H3 bulb just like the Hella's do. So I would have to imagine it'll be fine..
I haven't had foglights in such a long time I didnt have any idea what bulb they took.
I didn't think it was a 55w h3 bulb.
Cool, if that'll work, then I definitely will have an easier time wiring my lights back up..
Just curious...(To the electrical gurus)
If I were to wiring up (4) 55 watt lights to the stock harness/tree switch,
Where/how would I wire in a relay?
I have a VERY interesting idea to try to execute.
Thanks.
Ken I'm no electrical guru but you might want to be a little more carefull in your situation. Your year X only came with 35 watt H3 bulbs and your relay might only be rated to handle that. I also remember a few years ago that guys with 00-01's upgraded the bulbs to the 55 watts and they melted the wires. Or was it the plastic lenses? Either way they melted something. Just keep that in mind..
