Default I've got 70W lows and 80 or 100W highs (honestly don't remember)+ not sure about piaa fog Wattage

The only problem I have is that sometimes when I turn the lows on the right bulb won't go on right away, but the left one always does, however, when this happens, the first bump I hit - the right bulb turns on. It's probably just a contact that needs to be cleaned/adjusted. I wouldn't recommend going any higher than 70W lows - and dont' plan to keep the highs on for very long or you'll have problems

Would not recommend putting higher wattage bulbs you will have fun seeing low voltage readings on the voltmeter before we even talk about any big car stereo system in the car. If you want brighter lights wihtout draining the battery and alternator, I have experimented with Philips Blue Vision 55W H7 bulbs with excellent results: these bulbs gives out an extemely bright white light over the stock Sylvania's. On the Fogs, I have used RING Xenon Plus at 55W and it too is much brighter than stock.
