Ive got a 2005 CRD. Are we talking about the small fogs that sit (on the '05) below the main head lights? I havent looking into this before, can those units be interchanged with something
more powerfull and if so what kind of bulb units are they?


You've just reminded me of an eBay ad I saw for Halo Projector Fog Lamps;

i think we have gotten off topic here {like that has never happened before}

what i am worried about is not if the wires can handle the load
I am wanting to know if the stock housing can handle the wattage without melting

thank you all for your input

I'll offer my comment. I upgraded to the 9005s (65w, right?)two years ago... no melting. I did melt a connector this summer when mud got buried around the light. I replaced the connector with a high heat one and have had np problems since.

That would be about right.
65 W is about what I estimate as the design maximum 100% duty cycle with a very small safety margin.
