It is amazing the way technology has progressed. Previously, say 10 yrs ago the only way to get higher output with halogen was to go higher wattage. I used to run 55/100, then 90/130 without any on-coming traffic flashing because they were aligned correctly. The clarity on wet roads was my focus. I moved to HID then LED globes, now with LED sealed inserts from JTX that are ADR approved and have a lifetime guarantee for failure or damage - yep, break them and they are replaced. I dont think they are as good as the 90/130's but changed them out for engineering and happy to stay with them
