i just got fog lights that came with oem bulbs...i want brighter bulbs. what are the brightest that will fit? i have silverstar headlights so do they make silverstar fog lights?
I would go with Silverstar bulbs, or blue ricer bulbs if that's your thing. Don't up the wattage though! Those factory plastic lights are designed to take the amount of heat produced by the stock bulbs (and sometimes not even that).
Those bulbs are something like 37.5 watts, right?
If you want to up the wattage, I'd first get aftermarket housings that are glass and are designed for at least 55 watts. You'll melt the factory housings if you run 55'ers in them.
Don't run anything over 37.5 watts, regardless of the type of housing, unless you use a heavy duty wiring harness to power them. The alternative is possible melted connectors in your stock harness. SilverStars draw 37.5 watts or less. True HIDs run at up to 50 watts on initial startup, but they use a dedicated harness to power their ballasts directly from the battery and not your stock wiring.
