A 100 W bulb will draw 8.3 amps at 12 v or 7.2 amps at 14 volts.
( a 55W bulb 4.6 amps @12 V, 3.9 @14V)
So... the fuse the will be marginal at best.
I think it would be prudent to use a 20 Amp fuse.
On my old 900 I ran 100W fog lights with 20Amp fuse. I would periodically
burn out the relay. A higher rated relay and heavier wiring would
probably be the safest.
By the way, 100 W fog lights will not be all that much brighter/usefull
than the 55 W bulbs due to the lamps beam pattern.
Just make sure you aim them correctly. They will be really agravating to
other drivers if they are not aimed right.
