The best way would be a relay for each side and then use smaller fuses and smaller wire size,
Thanks, I think that the bulbs are only 55w. (Just verified).

I was looking up the state regulations wrt fog lights and now I might have another problem. The maximum height mounted is 30" and my 4x4 F-250, (stock/not lifted), puts them slightly higher if mounted on top of bumper, where I want them. There isn't anywhere else on the front of vehicle to mount these particular lights, other than on a light bar, which of course would be higher.

That got me wondering about all of the lights I see on light bars on the roofs of Jeeps and 4x4 trucks, or even on top of hoods, etc. What the what?
