I don't believe they make 100W for the low beam. The highest rated I have seen is 75W.

You can fit 100W for the high beam.

i have the 100w globes. my high beams are 130w globes.

it does say on the warning that "only standard 60 or 55 watt uv-cut globes are suitable for use with polycarbonate headlamp lenses".

does the skyline have polycarbonate lenses? dont care about people high beaming me just want to know if i can do it without damaging anything.

what wattage headlights are people using out there??? is it safe to run something bigger than standard 55w and less then 100w, cheers jonno

Don't do it if you've still got the stock setup. The only thing 100W did for my r32 was melt/blow fuses, I put in 30% brighter 55W bulbs and they were brighter.

If you've got a nice relay system set up, then run what you want, but higher watts doesn't necessarily mean a brighter light.

      Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.

      Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.

      Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?

      1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
