So just imagine how bright it would be if you had 55w HIDs that were actually being used efficiently...

Actually, I'm not complaining. The whole problem, is that with a dual filament bulb, when you hit the high beams, you lose your low beams. That's why I wired the HIDs on a rocker switch and put my halogen's on the stock wiring. I can have high beams and HID's at the same time, which should make the road 100% better to see.
