Default What are the cons of me wiring a relay so that I can use some 100W H7's for my fogs? Can the

foglight enclosure take the extra heat from the 100W bulbs? Thanks.

Default probably can't take the heat.

try HID's instead. less heat.

Default you'll end up spending a lot more

replacing melted housings and/or bulbs.
the bulbs themselves may not be able to handle
the heat. I had the glass from H7's bubble
on me. PITA to get em out of the housing when
that happens. Not worth it IMHO.

Default relays will take the load, but probably not the heat.

They should be able to handle something in the middle though.
