eruby, thanks for the input. I have heard this as well - that they are not ideal for high beams. However I did read a post from a member who did claim that he did have HIDs for his high beams and said they were great because when did use his high beams its was usually for extended periods of time at higher speeds. I think I could agree on this in terms of my driving style- however this depends driver by driver. Just food for thought. I'll probably wait on ordering a new set.
