Strangely, I prefer the old-school HID's for some reason. I have always liked fluorescent/gas discharge/arc lights. Just old-school enough to be cool, but efficient enough to use.
Also, I have some Nightbreakers I am putting in when I get the front end removed from my ride, God willing. At night, on high beam, there is no such thing as "too much light." If I was causing the paint to smoke on the fenceposts going by, I would not consider it too much. Now, low beams, I like them to be fairly sane, and the modern headlights aim so nicely with such a sharp delineation at the top of the low beam's beam, but the high beams? I want to be seen from orbit if possible. I want my own private sun.
