I believe you can just use stock wiring but I would think it's better to use a relay.

Mine used to flicker sometimes when I had run it on stock wiring, but after using the relay, problem was gone. My car is a ck4 though.

Just so you know...fog lights are designed to have a wide spread beam pattern...you're going to annoy alot of ppl on the road by doing this so be prepared to take alot of high beam

True what ek4ever said.

I'm not sure if your fogs can be adjusted downwards a bit to reduce the glare.

If you have worries about blinding people with 35w, please dont consider the 55w.. Apart from the relay probably not being able to handle the initial power draw, you will blind everyone on the road with your reflector fogs..

Take CD4Accord advice.

35W is bright as is, 55W may be too much.

I'm guessing you may need the relay for the 55W kit on the stock wiring, could be wrong though

oh, and 5000k kit is good eh

I think it would depend on the brand.

I had a 6000k Xentec kit before and (to me) I got the tinge of blue even though it was advertised as Diamond White. It worked ok but now i have a 5000k of the same brand and it's PURE white (at least to me)

No problems with the kits, my car electrical system had some wiring issues but my electrician fixed that for me.

Running 5000k kits in my fogs and projectors at the moment.
