I have a Galaxy pop top van 2008 model. Is it safe to change the globes in the side lights from 5 watt to 6 watts ?

It all depends on which light kit was installed on your fan. As you described the fixture as requiring a "light bulb" meaning a singular bulb, Minka Aire usually uses several different types.

The most common is either a 40-watt or 60-watt Candelabra Bulbs.
(The designation "Candelabra" refers to its screw base. You can buy these in clear or frosted, torpedo or globe with a straight tip or curved. Etc.
Here's an example of a torpedo globe:
Sunlite 60 Watt Torpedo Tip Chandelier Candelabra Base Frost 48 Pack
And here's an example of a Candelabra globe:
Sunlite 60 Watt G16 5 Globe Candelabra Base Clear 48 Pack

Some of their fixtures use a 50-watt Mini-Can Xenon Bulb.
Satco S1914 50W MINI CAN FROSTED 120V

And other use a 3w CFL Medium Base Bulb.
3W CFL Deco 2700K Medium Base

When installing a CFL, Halogen or Xenon bulb, I recommend cleaning the glass with an alcohol wipe to remove any oil from fingerprints. Due to the very high temperatures these lamps operate at, the oil from your fingers will cause a hot-spot on the glass and can shorten the life of the bulb dramatically.

If none of the references I offered match the bulb in your actual fixture, you might be able to more closely match the fixture from one on the following page. The recommended bulb for each fixture is listed in the description of the fixture.

And as always, NEVER over-lamp a fixture with a bulb rated at a higher wattage than what's shown on the base of the fixture. That is, never use a 60-watt bulb in a fixture rated at 40-watts. The additional heat of the bulb may harden the insulation of the wiring in the fixture creating, causing the insulation to fail and create a fire hazard. Also for fixtures located tight to the ceiling, higher temperatures can dry out the gypsum ceiling material, causing it to crack and deteriorate.

The problem is not the flasher unit. check your globes. Both the front and rear should be the same watts. the watts om the globes must be 12v 21watt. If the watts is not the same, it will flash fast

Most OE factory wiring is marginal as far as amperage carrying capability goes. They installed wiring fine for the stock bulbs and switch. A lot of vehicles send power to the lights..head and running...through the light switch on the dash. This causes it's own problems as switches are the weak link in the lighting system.

If you run 100watt bulbs you will need to power the bulbs via a 40 amp relay switched by the light switch so the switch does not carry the amperage load through it's contacts.

Doing so will reduce the voltage drop to the bulbs as a 2 volt drop will cause the bulbs to be only 75% as bright as they would be with the full 13.5 volt running voltage..

You run a fused wire from the battery or power distribution block to the relay that should be mounted within 6 inches of the closest h/l bulb. Then from the relay to the head light bulb/s. The front and rear running lamps can remain as factory as they are low amperage draw and original light switch will work because you now no longer run power to the h/lamps through the switch.

Search the www for schematics for relay switched lamps.


.

Check the size of the cables coming to your headlight. A higher lamp wattage would require more amperes for the wires to carry.

Yes you can turn up VR pot inside to recieve max level but will cause noise to be max too. I don't rightfully remember which one does it but I'll refer you to Defcom cb radio mods for a spec sheet
or Snakedoctors cb radio mods google site. Go to these radio mods sites on Google search and type in radio model. It will tell you what Vr inside to turn up RX of RF gain. Turn up modulation and written instruction if you are handy with solder gun how to change a resistor or cap to make it more sensitive recieve. How to replace final stage and resistors to 1/2 watt size for 6 more watts output and spread coils 1/8 inch apart like a comb for 100% microphone loudness or swing output. say 3 watts to 40 watts output. More windshield wiper swing in meter makes loud voice and extends range with Power final boost. Most people prefer to keep a mobile at around 11 watts swing to 45 watts.(but on generic radio meter will show 2 to 5 watts-its not accurate just a cheap indicator you are forward swing). Even though factory says 4 watts FCC hogwash. They come tuned from Cobra with 11 watts to 14-22 watts.Cobra really peaks them babies so competition doesn't beat them out like new louder radios made by Galaxy 55. Even though law says blah blah (corporations bend it)sales pitch Galaxy very heated with Cobra on the game(rich can do what they want)Galaxy is 20 watts factory with big promise to 40 watts dual finals. So Cobra updated and said "screw it we will break the law too" Now Cobra is loud as ever and offering their own super mod versions and dual final radios with 45 to 65 watts output with ranges on SSB & USB of 1500 miles on a strong good outdoor antenna.

I would turn do the watts to about 3.5 and that radio should swing.Sounds to me like its trying to but the wattage is stopping it.Experiment with it and find where you want to set it.

If you utilise Ohms Law; Watts divided by Voltage equals Amps.
A 60 Watt lamp draws approximately 60/12=5 so 5 Amps
A 100 Watt lamp draws 100/12=8.5 so 8.5Amps. What about the side lamp, Running lamps and tail lamps. Are they on the same fuse?
15Amps at 12Volts equals an average of 180 Watts total available power,

You should be able to match the bulbs with the one you took out.
Most of them have the rating written on the base of the globe.

Get a little test lamp to check the power on the contacts where the bulb goes in.
They look a bit like a screw driver with a point and a globe inside the handle.

This will tell you if you have power in the socket.

You could also get a cheap multi meter. They normally have a Ohm function which you can use to tell if the filament in the globe is blown. You could also test if you have voltage at the globe socket.

Hope this Helps.

USE LESS THAN 5W GLOBE IF AVAILABLE
OR
7 W IS A STANDARD GLOBE BEING NORMALLY USED, WILL & SHOULD NOT AFFECT THE POWER CIRCUIT AS PER MY EXPERIENCE
BEST WISHES

Your local a/c supply may have it or can order one for you.
