If you're going to drive with them on, its blinding to everybody and i hope you get pulled over for it.

They sell a super bright highbeam that puts out 100w over our 55w. You'll need higher gauge wire and relays. You'll have instant on and lots of light. The bulbs are sold for "service vehicles".

They are high beams, you cut them off when other cars are around so that should not be a problem.

Yeah I'm interested in seeing if anyone has done it either, I think it would be beneficial when driving back roads at high speed in terms of visibility.

Oh and btw, if your gonna say FAIL, leave it in world of war craft, not all of us are nerds.

^true. If you're going with 3000K anyway, wouldnt that be a yellow output? You would be able to just run a normal bulb and it would do the same thing. The 100W idea might be good if youre just looking for brighter high beams. Its not a good thing to keep flicking HID's on/off also, which you might need for a -flash to pass- or something.

Yeah, only bi-xenon's (shuttered) are any good for flash-to-pass. So heck no!
