High beam - 9005 - 60W

Fog Light - 9006 - 80W

Are those the correct size bulbs? Also, are those wattages ok without changing out harnesses and stuff (ie. plug and play)

Thanks.

foglights will prob melt with that high wattage.

highbeams should make it if you use your highbeams sparingly. i really see no need for high wattage bulbs, they just burn out faster. and they are not as bright as the make them seem.

Are the sizes correct though? 9005/9006 respectively.

Also, what wattage should i use then? 55W for fogs and 55W for highs?

Thanks again.

The stock Stanley bulbs in the fogs and high beams are 51W and 60W, respectively (yeah, weird how they're not standard numbers). I'm running 100W in the high beams without any problems, but like demolition said, they're rarely on so they should be fine. I ran 80W bulbs in the fogs without any problems - no burnt sockets or wires - but they burned out fast, so I swapped back to 55Ws. To be absolutely honest, go stand in front of your car with the HIDs and the fogs on, and you'll see that the fogs don't do jack for lighting up the road compared to the HIDs so there's really no point in putting more powerful bulbs in.

Here's a pic of my 9004s socket that burned with a 80W 9004. Basically, the plastic melted, and the high and low beam contacts touched and gave me a "highbeam on" warning without any lighting! I had to solder a new 9004 socket, which is no biggie compared to having to replace fried internal wiring.
