These are 50 watt clear end bulbs as opposed to the stock 37 watt black end. You then must re-aim them (they are way too low from factory), use small hole, it takes a torx (think #15).Mine have been this way for years, I use them everytime the low beams are on, no problems.
On the other hand, these fog lights do have a great cutoff pattern and will take HID conversion well. You should be able to drive with only them after HID conversion. They should be better than converting the stock headlight lenses (they have too much scatter). Only bad thing is that the fog lights go off when the high beams are on. It would be good to re-wire these.

Best change for $2
You could spend $100 plus for PIAA or the like but the 50 watt 885 bulbs almost let you drive without headlights. Reaim them with the torx driver thru the little hole on the shroud about 15 or 20 feet from your garage door or a wall. Use the low beams as a guide. You will be surprised at the difference.

They will blow the PIAAs out of the water and take less time to install.
