55 Watt bulbs in foglights

Thanks for your help, I tried putting a H11 bulb which they told me was the same bulb as the H8 but in 55watt power instead of 35watt. And just so everyone knows, the H11 Bulbs DOES NOT fit into the our foglight housing because one of the clips on the H11 Bulb is longer than the H8s.


The fog light fuse is a 15 AMP fuse.

55 W fog lights will run around 4-5 amps.

HID Fog light kit will run around the same 4-5 amps, some higher (analog) and some even lower I've seen at 3 amps (slim digital).

The catch is that HID Fog lights kits will have a start-up to ignite that is higher, some analog will push 15 Amps, which is why the 15 AMP fuse will blow. Some go with a higher AMP fuse to avoid this, but I am unsure what the wiring is rated for so I switched out for digital ballast which run below 15 AMP start-up.
