 Subject: Piaa 510's and stock wiring
IP: Logged
Message:
So I've got a new Pair of PIAA 510 driving lights to replace my stock fogs, and would like to wire them into the pre-existing stock wiring so that I can keep use of the fog light switch, rather than using the PIAA on/off switch. The current fog lights are 35 watt, while the PIAA's are 55 watts. Would the PIAA's burn up the factory wiring with the 20 more watts being pulled?
Thanks!

I installed 55w PIAA fogs in my '01 about 3-4 years ago. I've run them for 12 hours at a time without any problems. Black to black, white to white.

above link states
amp=watt/volt
amp=55w/12v = 4.58 amp

so according to link above, you can go as small as 22 gauge.
so you should be good, I think fog light wiring is 18 or 16 gauge. Check to be sure.
