Default Do these lights sound ok

I am thinking about putting in 100w/130w in the headlights, 55w in the fogs and modifying the fogs where I can have driving lights in the other side (getto euro) and putting 100W bulbs in there.

I am going to make a custom harness with 4 ga wire feeding it so power wont be a problem but are these wattages ok assuming I have all the power I need?

I have that in my car. Of course it is a Iceshark kit. I have 90/100 W driving lights as well.

You might do some frying of old wiring at those wattages.

I am going to make a really thick harness so that shouldn't be a problem.

i have a set-up similar to ice shark's(god rest his soul) hella e-code lenses 100 watt bulbs relay fed.
european driving lamps 100 watt bulbs never run these at the same time as the fogs housings will melt.
i have no idea as to the lumens but ice shark posted his set-up and it was insane.

Only two or three... I think and they each have there own unique question that is not found via search. I promise its the last . But is what wolf posted true, will the fog housings melt if the 55w fogs are on as well as the 100W driving lights?

Thats a good question, a rather comical story that Dan posted about driving through the middle of nowhere with 100w headlights, 100w driving lights and 55w fogs. He said the gas station guy thought an airplane was landing on the freeway.

I think it should be fine, but would like to know a definitive answer from anyone that does it.

IIRC ice shark posted it, it may take awhile to find it though. european cars had two switches for the fog/driving lens, fogs only worked with the low beams and high's only with driving lights. let me look
