At 55-60 MPH on local roads, I want to see further as well.

In some cases, though, I think people confuse headlight bulb quality with headlight lamp crappiness. If the lamp is cloudy, the bulb won't make a difference. I see people with crappy lenses going and getting these $20 a bulb headlights, and expecting a major change with them... Yup - Keep spending it, buddy!
