Whats the wattage on the Fog Lights?

I know they are 9006 but what is the wattage. I am looking at bulbs that are 100 watts. I feel that is too much?

HB4 = 9006 and 100W you might want to either upgrade the wiring.

That is weird, on this site where I am going to order bulbs it says HB-4=9003
Does this make sense?

I would not go with a 100W bulb, it will be too hot, and may blow your fuses and controler (the fogs are controled through a computer).

Stick with the 51W or 55W bulb at max, doing anything else without modification to wiring or housing is a risk.

Why do you need 100W fog lights? The HID are good enough, and if you are only trying to go to hyper white, there are plenty of lower wattage 9006 (ie 51 or 55W)

need4speed. That is what I figured. I did think it was too much but I really like the Nokya brand that is why I wanted to try them. Any brands you can recommend under $50 a pair?

I honestly think the BEST bulbs are the STOCK Stanley ones lol They last the longest compared to the dumb aftermarket ones for $10 or $20. If you get 100W, just upgrade the wiring. About melting the headlight? I
