i have a pair of nokya 80w 9005 bulbs that i am planning on installing in my fog lights. will this work with the stock wiring, or do i need to swap them for some lower wattage bulbs? to put them in, i remove the radiator, get the grill to tilt forward, and then get at them thru the bumper correct?

No, you don't need to remove the radiator. Just read the owners manual nad it tells you how. I can't remember, but it's just clips you pop and then tilt the grill forward. i replace my bulbs and it was easy.

i slapped them in today, for anyone deciding on whether or not to get the yellow fogs, do it, and get the 80 watt bulbs. i will post pics soon, the headlights look bad now, and i dont want to put rice blue bulbs in, so i am ordering the saleen HIDs.
