Fog Light Question
Am I going to have any issues putting an 80w 2500k Nokya yellow light in my fogs when they're rated at 55w?

I wouldn't recommend it. As mentioned above, the stock 55 watt bulbs get really hot if the car isn't moving. You'll also be drawing another 30 watts through the fuse and wiring. If you want brighter foglights, go HID. They run a lot cooler.

Rodger: is that an 8 specific fog light kit or just a generic one?

adding fog lights is very easy to do. all you have to do is remove the front bumber. removes the black inserts on the bumper openings where the fog lights go. mount the fog lights in the predrilled holes. also all the wiring is already done. just plug the lights in, intale the switch and you are good to go. there a couple of really good DIYs on how to remove the fron bumper. its very easy.
