I do use them as my high beams on rural highways. They are so bright when I have to turn them off for an on coming car its like driving in the dark. I have them wired to turn on and off with my high beams. You can never have too much light with the possibility of moose on the road. I live in northern Ontario Canada and there are a lot of rural roads where I put the lights to good use. I will get a pic of them at night posted in the next week or so. They are illegal here but I have been running extra lights forever and have never been bothered
