Walmart Fog light install?

After looking over the HID install by FMYStreetRacer. I was thinking, how hard would it be to buy a cheap $20 set of foglamps from Walmart and mod 1 of them into the headlight housing? Or remove the old housing and bolt one in? They have all shapes/sizes. Most are H3 55w. I think our bikes would handle one just fine.

I'm going there today, maybe I'll pickup a set.

or something like this

H4s are availible in Halogen H4, P45T base, 45/45 watts

I think the stator could probably handle a 45 watter. 55 might be pushing it. Fatboy250 has been running a 45 watt headlight for thousands of miles without issue.

I am looking at options too. The fog/driving light has crossed my mind since they can be found for cheap. I adjusted my stocker and I will see if it is any better tonight, but I am not hopeful. It seems that the flashlight bulb is the low beam.

I am planning to do some installation today. Is there anyone here can suggest the best fog light to be used? The set up is very good and I just wait for the suggestions.

The Roman poet Virgil authored the masterpiece, The Aeneid. In this epic story, Aeneas flees Troy as the Greeks destroy the city. Left homeless, Aeneas roams the Mediterranean, and eventually founds the city of Rome. Incidentally, at a later point in his journeys, Aeneas visits Hades, and successfully returns to the surface of the Earth. 8O Hence it is appropriate that his eponymous member of these forums is a gravedigger, resurrecting 4-year-old threads.
