Adding HID to high beams?

[speedminded]

OK, first off, i'm not to really want to do this, but, I will be taking a trip across country pretty soon and will be driving in some remote areas at night out west. I know that HIDs work so well because of the projector housing and how it focuses the light pattern. What I am wondering is will there be more/better lighting if I used HIDs in my high beams? I only wonder because there is so much scatter with highs it seems like HIDs might not really increase overall brightness. I want small creatures to think the North Star itself is coming at them....

Fabricate a light bar that attaches to your hood, between the bumper and hood, or even a bracket at the top of the windshield since it's a convertible

You can even make it using a Jeep Liberty plastic housing...





No cross country trip should be without an auxiliary light bar!
