Default H3 foglight bulbs-100w or 55w?

I need to replace my foglight bulbs, I dont use them for fog much, I mainly use them in the mountains at night to give me more lateral vision.
I see I can get 100watt ones. Anyone think why I shouldn't go to 100w?
heat issues? electrical draw issues?
I have the factory pulley set up
TIA

Oh, I just found some 85 watt ones.....hmmm

55W... DO NOT go 100W you will burn out your wiring harness.

Hope that helps

I ran 100 watt bulbs in my Pathfinder's fog lamps many years ago and never had any problems. I checked the housings frequently for excess heat and inspected the wiring for scorching but detected no problems. Not sure if Porsche's wiring is marginal or as good as Nissan's.

100W bulbs, Heavy duty relays , Re wire direct to the battery and some simple rewiring gets you there ! Loom burn out will happen if you dont do this revision .
Probably not worth it !!!!
