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?

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.
