Default Nokya 2500k Hyper yellow H3 fog light bulbs

I just bought and installed a set, the light output pretty good, but my only concern is that the stock bulbs are 55watts and Noyka bulbs say 70watt / stock wattage. Although the housing gets pretty hot, the wiring harness does not seem to melt and nothing seems to burn. I never really touched the housing with the old bulbs in so I don't know how hot it gets stock. But it seems like 55watt and 70watt is not a huge difference. What do you guys think

This is on a 95 SC400

I would advise you to take them out. You can run them for a while but eventually your socket will get fried. I was running 70W bulbs in my fogs for about six months or so and one day one of my fogs stopped working, I immediately knew why. Your best bet is to just get a 3000K HID kit and install it, you will get more light output and you won't risk damaging your socket.

HID fogs are nice, but thats kinda outta my budget right now. I only got these bulbs cause on of my stock bulbs went bad, and it was excuse to get yellow bulbs.

ended up taking the of the bulbs out it says 12volt 55watt on the actual bulb. Just for kicks I put in the good stock bulb in one side and turned on the lights. After 5mins or so both the stock and nokya bulbs got just about equally as hot. I wanted to say the nokya was slighly hotter but it was too hard to tell, but bottom line is now that I know the exact wattage, I think its ok.
