Hey guys. I found a Luminics Halogen 9006 bulbs that are 6000k.

Before I buy it, I was wondering if this would work for my foglights for the 07 IS350. I know they are not HIDs but would these still be compatible?
If so what would be some negatives from installing these?

yea i was just about to say that. Several people in the past have had melted harnesses even from 55W bulbs. might wanna get a heavy duty harness just in case.
this is one example, but i think there are cheaper deals out there on ebay.

a wire harness for that?
yet others recommend no harness for HID installation.
I don't quite get it.
I'd say the harness doesn't really matter, but for added security, sure why not
just my opinion

I know people that have used these http://www.automotivelightingusa.com...oducts_id=1246
HIDS have different harness and lower wattage then halogens. The halogens burn hotter because of the increase wattage.

While it is true that HIDs will consume about 35W at steady state, when you first turn on the ballast you experience a tremendous power spike far greater than what a 55w will pull.
However, it probably is safer to just get an upgraded wiring harness since it's much easier than a perhaps catastrophic failure of your wiring in the future or even fire!
and many people plug their hids into their existing wires without running a harness through to the battery, which was what I was referring to.

which is why its better to turn on your headlights and foglights after the car is on and running. i know the wiring can handle it since after i start the car and then turn the HID fogs on and my lows the voltage drops only .2 volts at most usually from 13.6 to 13.4, which is still within normal operating range.
