Hey everyone,
I was just worried about using too much power, like on the electrical side.
I have Angel Eyes, low beam HIDs, and fog light HIDs.
I have changed the fuses, just worried if its too much of a over load for the car, like the battery and the alternator.
Thanks in advance!

First thing, I would put the original fuses back in. Thats what determens the amount of current thats safe.

The wires are rated to a certain current, and this is protected by the fuses, to much current (or other problem) fuse blows.

By putting higher amp fuses in, may lead the circuts to become hotter, thus could cause a fire.

All of your accessory lights should be running there own relay, and if this is the case you shouldnt have a problem.

If you dont blow fuses (original) or get an ALT or GEN warning, I think you should be OK.

Hope this helps

if youre worried that youre not gonna have enough power, go for an optima yellow top battery. you really cant go wrong with any one of the optima batteries. but honestly you should be fine, i wouldnt worry about it (unless you have a massive sound system that draws a ton of power).
