They are still very bright on low beam however.

55 watt halogen used to be the highest wattage that was legal for road use, but since HIDs have hit the scene, who knows what goes. My 76 Datsun B210 came from Japan with 65/55 halogens in it and I'd get stopped and questioned all the time! Now it looks like anything goes. I'm waiting for the cops to crack down on LED light bars!

I have a pair of small yellow halogen fog lights on my WJ and even through they are aimed down, I get flashed all the time!
