Well that's good, but even with high beams, there are always moments when an oncomming car appears unexpectedly around a curve, or there can be times when one is distracted and forgets to dim the lights.100s can really blind you. I've had this happen to me, and it's really dangerous, you've probably had it happen to you. I run the 500s on my westy too, but I can rarely use them, there is too much traffic in the NE. Their range is too far, and I have to dim them so much earlier than regulat high beams that I end up using the low beams more than I would normally use them! James
