i'd be a little scared to use higher wattage bulbs with your factory wiring. a wiring meltdown would be hell to fix. this is what i did.. hope this helps. http://srtforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=108394
The weak point in the chain is the multifunction switch in the steering column. Often times I've seen a whisp of smoke come out of the steering column long before any fuses blow. The switch is simple to replace but it usually takes the connector on the wiring harness with it...which is not simple to replace.
Actually, let me rephrase my answer...Either just the fogs or the headlamps would be fine...Too much wattage with both...I have 55w fogs and have never had a problem...
I was using a slightly higher wattage headlight bulb and after having highbeams on for a period of time, it would melt my multi-function switch and ide lose the ability to even turn on my headlights anymore......i assume the silverstars are the same wattage as stock?

Both the fogs and headlights WILL burn out your wiring sooner or later. It way maybe take a while, but it'll happen. Those are crap cheap bulbs, don't waste your money on them. Bought the same kind of bulbs on my old Neon and it just fried the wiring, took months and months too. Go with good bulbs like PIAA, they put more light than those and only draw 55/60 watts, that's why they're a bit pricey, only bulb to be bright and not draw crazy power. Fogs I went with Eurolights, that matched the PIAA's perfect.
