I am adding fog lights to my Toyota Highlander that is unlimited (I wonder why they call the better version limited and the lesser version unlimited. Should it not be the other way around?) anyway, I finally got the fog lamps for 300$ and am wanting to know if 1 or 2 relays are needed to them. THe bulbs are 55 watt bulbs , so can 2 bulbs be safely poweRED / switched with one Bosch relay or do I need two relays to switch on my lights? Thanks. Mark

Thanks for the info! Also what AWG wire is good for these 55watt foglights? I dont want too think nor too thin but a few levels higher than the safety limit.
