When buying halogen bulbs a couple of things to look for,
where it is made and Bulb Life.
The Chinese stuff does not last long, and if they cannot tell you where it was made, forget it.
I do A/V work and lighting. I bought what I thought were good bulbs for MR16 Spot lights. Man, some of those lamps failed the next day. Bought name brand, no more problems. And the name brand did not cost much more.
The lower power lamps will last longer. The higher wattage lamps burn out faster because of more amperage used to light the filament.

DK on your bulb issue, but I ride with my high beam during the day and save my low beam for night, which I rarely do.

Oh boy, don't even get me started on the whole, bulbs have gone to $#!T compared to what they used to be. Even the name brand bulbs are no guarantee anymore. And while I too avoid the Chinese made stuff like the plague, the non-Chinese bulbs aren't much better. Used to be household bulbs would last YEARS! Now is a matter of month's ...if you're lucky!
Now get off my gall-dang lawn!

Yes, it is high beams. They are bright but that's only 50% of the benefit of led. The color is the other 50%. These are pure white, not the fake blue color. When I line up next to halogens, they are extremely yellow in comparison.
