    When you switch to your hi beam, the bulb itself moves to shoot it at a higher angle. That is all. It is the exact same bulb, exact same brightness, exact same power, etc...as the lo beam. Just now shooting at a higher angle to give you a hi beam.

    People don't realize how much light goes out if you reflect the bulb up and/or move a reflector and it just throws light everywhere!

    Especially when it's completely the wrong lens in front of it so vision is actually worse than the orginal bulb

    ...but it looks good and blinding to other drivers!
