Yellow fog lights

[JoBuNY]

I'm looking at getting these for my A4 "SPP Precision Optics H7 80 Watt Yellow" and I was wondering if anybody has had issues running this high of a Watt in their car?

I can't find it again, but I thought I read somewhere people saying they had 80 W bulbs and it burnt out the fog light housing? I tried to find it again but I couldn't......

so I was just wondering if anybody else had heard or read this before, and if I would be safe running the 80 W or should I Just get the 55 W?

thanks

I'd run 80 watters off a relay. If they are too hot for the housing their is nothing you can do about that except run lower wattage bulbs.

Another option is a hid kit which will put out significantly more light with less current draw.

Thanks

I'll look into the HID kit option......what would you say run about 3000k? to get the best yellow light look?

Or you can be cheap and get $10 Lamin-x film for your fogs. Looks awesome.

3000k.

I had the 55w dichroic yellow halogen bulbs in my stock fogs and they were great.

yellow fogs @ 55 wats is already plenty bright. here are mine which are 55w nokia yellow lights. they were only 20 buxs and have lasted me over a year without burning out or giving me any problems. i think that getting HID fogs is a serious waste of money unless you get it for really cheep

Are there actually 3000k hid bulbs? I can't seem to locate any. they're all higher temp with a coating on the bulb.
