Can anyone tell me whatheadlight bulb types are in a Jap Z? I think dipped beam is H3c but is main beam the same. I am looking at a headlight upgrade and I know a few people has said going high wattage (100w+) can cause the wiring to burn out. Has anyone used PIAA bulbs as you can get a 135w bulb that only draws 85w with a simple H3c to H3 bulb conversion? Would this be too hot for the lens?

ditto to all of the above, REALLY want to put some nice white/blue daylight jobbies up front as opposed to stock candles.

 

currently got a pair of duracell xenon bicycle lights gaffer taped to bonnet - no - im serious

PIAA do H3c bulbs 85w (55w draw) for dipped beam available from PIAA stockists at http://www.PIAA.co.uk.

I have super whites, but they are expensive at £26 +vat each.

Mains are H1 suggest you get phillips or similar 100w ok (draw 60w i think)

Fogs are H3 again use philips or similar, use 55w + 30% output = 72w, nice and bright when used with dipped.

You just need to change standard spade connector on new bulb to push ball type.

 

I have been running the above on these dark nights with no problems so far!:) :)

thanks ray - whats a 'push ball type' doh:D

Vicky, Instead of a spade type connector, they (nissan god bless them ) have used a rounded end, which pushes into a tube, you know what I mean!! Just imagine a train going into a tunnel.......etc.

Anyway it is easy to change, I just cut off spade conn. off new bulb and spliced on old round end conn. from old 35w H3 to new bulb wire.

The most time consumming bit is taking the foglight out and dissambling it to get at the bub in the first place.

 

Hope that helps

I think the correct technical description is a 'bullet' connector.
