Default Head lights are WEAK

If the high and low beam lights are the same, what makes 1 brighter than the other? Are the high beams just designed to project in more of a straight line, and the lows just go wider?

Not brighter, the reflectors behind the lights are shaped different, creating a different beam, making it appear that the highs are brighter. Lows are more of a flood light, while highs are more of a spot light. That's why I like to have both lights on when in the high beam position (a simple switch mod), more light covering more area, for the better visiblity for my tired old eyes. I miss my night vision.

I replaced both hi and low beams with Silverstar #893 and it made a huge difference.
