Pull it out, look at the number on the bulb & put the same thing back in.

Or else, call the dealership, tell them what you have & put OEM back in.

The access door is the round door to the side of the light, under the hood.

Those bulbs are 80W H7. OEM is 55W H7
I am afraided in long term, it might burn the housing len or connector/harrness

It is good to hear that you have no probem.
Last time I used Yellow 2500k 70 watt H7 S1 NOKYA bulbs on fog lights and had no problem. (Recently, I replaced with Mtec HID xenon35W which much brighter than OEM H7 bulbs).

I still love the yellow fog lights during the foggy time. May be next time I will try on 2500K yellow HID xenon.

I replaced it with crystal vision H7 55W. It has a very slight blue to it, but it is very slight. It was 2 for $49 and I had a 25% off = $35. I left the original light on the drivers side because that was still good.
On the passengers side that stopped working, the little filament broke.

If I stare at them I can see the differnce but it is very small, no one will notice.
