If you want some decent HI beams then get a set of air craft landing lights
like I got.  They are made by GE and they are 150W and something like
380,000 candle power each.  So far there isn't a stretch of road long
enough that I can't light.  (2x 150W AC lights, 2x 130W H3s, 2x 80/100W
H4s).  Low beams are just 2x 80W and no one brights me because of the
excellent pattern from the H4s.

The highest I have seen is 110/150W H4s these are also made by GE and are
something like C$25 ea.  I can get some for you if you like.
