What size bulb does it take?

 

use only 55w h3 bulbs

 

or else you will explode your fog light assembly if you use too high wattage bulbs.

 

HIDs would work in there though

 

What kind of idiot are you?

Explode your fog light assembly? WTF

I use 110W H3 bulbs in mine.

 

actually sgt, he is correct. the yellow part of the housings so crack (i.e. explode). if you use the higher wattage bulbs. the heat stresses those parts.

if your housings have not been damaged yet, i would think its only a matter of time.

Never seen it happen. A few of use use these high wattage bulbs.
I've had mine for oh lets see.... 5 years now. no cracking.

So you are testifying that the high wattage bulb will cause the yellow surround
to EXPLODE and break the outer housing?

 

.... i've never seen someone so defensive about this sort of statement before.

what i will say is, i have seen numerous cracked housings due to overheating of those higher wattage bulbs.

 

Well, when you use a word like EXPLODE, then that connotates a violent result.
Something which I think a lot of people would take seriously.

I think the little yellow surround would crack, but the actual headlight housing
would be fine. Regardless mine are still like new(well as new as you can get
for 5 years of abuse)

 

damn, look who the idiot it now. I've seen it happen many times to people who try to use higher watt bulbs. Maybe you should heed my warning before you ruin your set of headlights.

 

Lets see some pictures of these destroyed headlight housings.

 

I forgot who had a thread with his fog lights busted. Goodfella on the board had that happen to him too.

 

eat your words. Just apologize for being rude and it's all good.

Gee, it looks like its fine to me. Doesnt look like anything EXPLODED.
That headlight housing is still in perfect functional condition.

If you mean that stupid little yellow piece BROKE then you are right, anything
that small and thin can break. It can happen with 55w or 110w or just with age.

So stop it with your overdramatic garbage. EXPLOSION?? psha...

 

whatever dude, i'm not gonna argue anything with you. You are the one that jumped all over me. All I was doing was giving this guy a heads up. But you are a Moderator so you are are right.

My foglights exploded on me from using high wattage bulbs.. so yes it can happen and probably most likely will happen..

 

And you really dug up a 5-year-old thread to post that info?

 

Just some FYI but the bulb sizes for each light are posted/written on the outer headlight covering...Or atleast there are on mine

 

talk about coming back from the dead...this is like 5 years old
