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.

100W main beams will make your car illegal and you'll just get high-beamed by everyone else.

Not a good idea.

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

you might end up yellowing your headlights due to the extra wattage over time.

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.
