You would have to upgrade your headlight wiring harness to a heavy duty one that will support the wattage specifications you are looking to run or else risk the entire headlight melting and posing a fire hazard.

100 watt fog lights seems insane on a regular road car; too much light from a fog light defeats their purpose!

All of those are over wattage. Look for Philips x-treme power or HIR bulbs.

Silverstars suck, they burn out fast and are expensive, unless you have the german made silverstars.
