Need advice with Electrical - amp draw to KC Fog Lights
I bought one of these and thought I might give them a try as replacements for my Fog Lights.
KC HiLiTES 1269 FLEX 10W Single LED Light
I'm looking for advice as to whether the draw for these lights will be too much for the stock Fog light wiring. Anyone with experience in these matters willing to share their opinion?
Thank you.

It should be just fine. The current draw is 2 amps X 12volts = 24 watts per bulb on your new LEDs, the stock were closer to 80-100 watts draw each.
You've got room to spare, maybe more lights? Hopefully no flicker will be visible on these. Luck and enjoy that runner.

Stock H3 bulbs are 55W each. Anything lower than that is obviously fine.

Should be plenty fine to use your stock harness.

Will do. It's going to take a little creativity to mount these in the original spot but I'll be sure to post up a few pics.

Finally found some time and got one of them installed.
Had to modify the bracket I had in there from the last set of Piaa lights - it's kinda janky but it's sturdy.
It is WAY brighter than the Piaa lights. I'll try to get out of the house for a couple of minutes tonight and get some comparison pictures.
Here are a few pics of it installed:
