| Are these the JDM xenons or just some sort of different projectors? On the other point of "looking to the side", I am always scanning the road through maybe a 30 degree (or less) cone of vision out in front of me at these speeds, not turning my head or even my eyes out of that cone of vision. I would say the faster you go the more acute the angle your eyes are scanning. Like normal highway speeds you are basically scanning 90 degrees of vision for hazards. My goal is to see everything I can possibly see in that field of vision, not just the cleared out/lit up roadway in say a 5 degree cone of vision. If a deer is 300 yards out and jumping a fence 20-30 yards from the road, I would like to be able to see that and react to it in the couple of seconds it takes to close the distance at high speed. Im not looking out into fields necessarily, but lighting up some of the brush around the road would be nice. Dont get the wrong idea that I am just going balls to the wall on the backroads every night at 150+mph but I have done some nice cruises going 125-135mph for like 20 or 30 miles every now and then, and it is all straight and flat out here but not grassy, it is brushy. You wouldnt see a deer or coyote in plain view; you would see one darting between mesquite bushes until it got to the road which I fear would be too late with my current stock 1992 headlamps.
From what I am reading from responses and the links posted it seems that regular halogen bulbs are best for high beams and HIDs are best for low beams.
Read something about HID's dont show true colors at night or something....
