Tag for future reference. I have seen a few posts that the Daystar switch panel, the one adjacent to the shifter, may be too close to the shifter. You may hit the switches when you shift gears, with a manual transmission.

Here's what I have know and what I have been told By a trusted source (Happy C)
The OEM fogs are 45w and if you go with a larger wattage bulb they will cause an overdraw in that system and shut it down or blow the bulbs.. so I would recommend using the same wattage..
The second set of fogs - if you are running your own wires and relay, then you can go with a heavier Gage wire and relay and a larger wattage bulb.. just be careful not to over heat and melt the housing. (not sure what kind you have or if they are another set of stock). .so I am just surmising
The KC's - bigger wire will not make them any brighter- use the harnesses provided by them..
Hope this helps...
