Anyone using these? How do you like them? What kind of light are you getting from them? How is their longevity? Are you using the high and low beams?

I put some in my low beams the other day, and i like them alright, its definitly alot whiter light than factory. For $49 i guess i'm happy, they're not HID's, but they're ok

They were invented by General Electric a few years ago. An HIR bulb differs from a standard Halogen bulb by the fact that they have a reflective infra red coating with primary purpose of reflecting heat back to the filament.
