55 watt h8 fog lights?

Chicks-Love-Bimmers · 02-05-2011, 11:15 PM

I just ordered 35w 2500k Nokya bulbs from someone on eBay, but they sent me 55w 2500k instead. Would 55w work or should I ask for my money back?

did you check the manual. not sure if it would be in there but its worth a try

i dont see why it wouldn't work.

It would work, may overheat and melt something.....maybe.

Somebody did 55w h-8 angel eyes on here and didnt have an issue.....they were super-bright also but took them out bc they were afraid of shorting something out/fire to a harness and melting shit.

I wouldnt chance it. You f something up in the harness and you may pay dearly.

55w will eventualy burn your wire if run for a prolong period of time. If you don't want any big $$$ repair down the road, you should get the 35w.
