I have the same set up as Frank and they are wonderful lights�even with the 55/60�Watts.� I would highly recommend protecting that investment with the plastic covers.

I purposely have set them pointing a little lower so that I do not blind the oncoming traffic for the low beams but the high beams really brighten up a long way ahead.

I also have the ProjectTzwo fog lights and that is a sweet set up.

... Oh yeah I did put�lots of relays�and beefed up the wiring too.
