    I live in an area that gets quite foggy during the winter and into early Spring. I generally prefer to run an amber or yellow fog bulb, I preferred running a 2500k halogen bulb in my previous vehicles. I also made sure that the bulbs I put in were the same wattage rating as the stock bulbs, since my previous vehicles tended to melt wiring harnesses with uprated bulbs.

    So, I goggled a bit but I couldn't find a definitive answer.

    Truck is a 2007 Base TRD Off Road. I see the stock bulbs are 9145 rated for 45w. Will I melt the housings, wiring, or cause a serious fire if I put a higher rated bulb in?

    ^This has your answer. Check out the posts on the Diode Dynamics SS3s linked at the top, specifically in selective yellow. If you are somewhere that snow is a concern, you'll want the high power Pro or Max to prevent icing over.
