Last year, I removed the air dam and factory fog lights and replaced them with Hella 550's mounted on the brush bar. Never had a real opportunity to use them, though, until just a few weeks ago. Last week, I noticed that the hood liner was shredded just above the battery. Doesn't look like any critter got in there, but I also don't see evidence of battery acid. Could it be that the battery got too hot while I had the fog lights on? Do fog lights draw that much from the battery to cause over-heating? Any ideas? | ||

If the battery got hot enough to shred your hood liner, you'd definitely have a melted battery casing! Check to see if your battery terminals are scraping the liner, and maybe double check for mouse droppings... | ||

You don't have to worry. Two fog lights don't present much of a load. |
