When upgrading fog lights...

to the 885 50watt bulb, do you need to upgrade the fuse as well? I had to do that on the 90 coupe I had. I've been searching and see where this is a popular upgrade, but I see no mention of the fuse. I want to upgrade the lights on my newly acquired 2000 vert.

Thanks.

I have been running 885's for over six years with no uprade and NO PROBLEMS.

Enjoy.

No need to change fuse when upgrading to the 885's. I ran those for 2 years before switching to the Piaa 1100x lights. They are much more effective than the 885's.

Go with HIDs. You'll be glad you did!

I did not change the fuse when I went with 885's ... now I'm running HID's with the same fuse and see much better

I went with the HID bulbs, but I then found out my fog lights have FROSTED lenses! This diffuses the HID light so it does not look good.

Does anyone have CLEAR fog light lenses???
