"HID" bulbs in lens/reflectors not designed for them are a bad idea.

GE Nighthawks came to me highly-recommended. They work well, and they're a straight plug-in.

If you want more information, this guy is the guru of automotive lighting.

He also has some sort of role with the automakers and OEMs in developing vehicle-lighting.

Thus spake Tegger :

Maybe not, but the guys at the parts desk will recognize you after a couple of visits for the lenses.

"Hey George, here comes Help-Slip. Go get him another set of lenses."

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.

Offroad and specialty shops have sold those bulbs since forever, at least in Canada.

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.
