Can I put in aftermarket fog light assemblies rated at 55W in 99 Durango?
Will relay & wiring take it?

I did it last year. I had them on as long as 4
hours at a stretch without any problems.

Looks like the fog lights are run though a relay from the factory. its a
20A circut to the fog lights.
Volts x Amps = Watts correct?? (I think thats right)

low end, 10v x 20a = 200w
high end 14v x 20a = 280w

running two, 55w laps would be 110w, on paper, that gives you a 90w cussion.

Here is a link to the page with the fog lights from my Chilton Repair
Manual.

Thanks! 20A fuse & relay should take it no problem!
