Foglight wiring
I wouldn't go much higher then a 55w draw though on stock wiring. THe wiring kit that came with my Hella'* was noticably thicker after the relay compared to th fog leads.
Unless you bypass it, the lights on stock leads will cutout with high beams. That'* one reason why I did the full kit in february.

I'm running 100W H3'* with no problems whatsoever (even on a hot day, my wiring stays cool) and I did the bypass for the fogs to stay on with brights, while still using just the stock wiring for the fog circuit.

Splice for the H3. I burnt a 55W during WCBF and figured I'd try the 100 Watt H3'*. No problems for over a month.
Do NOT run 100W H3'* in stock housings. They have plastic lenses. Do this with a glass-lensed aftermarket light housing ONLY.

Thanks Will:
When I get around to installing some decent lights I may take two burnt out 880 bulbs and solder on, the H3 plug, to the poles that the filament attaches to then encapsulate the wiring with shrink tubing. Then if I want to go back to a stock set up all I have to do is unplug the adapter and reinstall the stock housing with the 880 bulb.
Then again I could just cut the stock wiring and install a bullet connector.
