+1 on the eye tests, it may get to the point where you cannot drive at night. There are other eye problems that can be solved now but not when they have progressed too far.

I have HID's in the lows and I thought I would put Silver Star Ultras in the highs. Well, I got the bulbs mixed up and ended up with an OEM bulb in one high and a Silver Star Ultra in the other, without noticing my mistake. They looked the same to me and even when I noticed an odd set of bulbs in the bench I could not tell which bulb was a Silver Star Ultra when they shone on my white garage wall.

The high beam lights looked like egg yolks sitting above the white of the low (3500k) HID's.

I will try Osram 65W Rallyes in the highs when I can be bothered to correct my mistake.
