Keep your low beams at 55, but the sky's the limit on your fogs and high beams.

100watt bulbs are really too much in traffic, I have 100's in my foglights, and I get no end of complaints from my friends when we go cruising.

If you spend a lot of time in the country, you can get away with 100's, but they'r excessive when you're in town. No one really checks much, but 100 watt lights are (slightly) illegal too.

If you're using the stock wiring, get the 55W lights. 100W bulbs will cause fires and problems.
