I like them. I used them in my Civic and my wife's Accord. I need to get a set for my Fit.
I seem to remember Crutchfield's selling "not for highway use" bulbs for a number of years.

I had a set of 100W high-beams on my '82 Corolla. They were used in my Bosch halogens. I had to wire in a relay so that the headlight switch wouldn't have to carry the full current. They were quite effective on country roads.
