When you turn just them's on, does it make a difference? Is it enough light to see anything? Or more just for looks?

when i wired em, there is three prongs ones the negative, the other is positive High (beam) and positive Low (beam) i wired them on high...
the grill doesnt stop them at all. they blast...
some guy flashed me for having my high beams on, and i flicked all of them on and i swear i saw him swerve... they have a distant narrow beam..
works great.

temp never changes, not even a scoach...
but our weather is generally colder here anyway

Just curious, Why is the guy a "jerk" for letting him know that he had his high beams on?

Thanks. Im thinking some KC Slimlites in a fog pattern, in the same place as yours of course. I like the look of a clean install.
