so if your working with 3x the light, anything above the cutoff is probably crazy bright to oncoming cars, even if the light has the same pattern

HIR is a highbred halogen. Not sure where you are getting 3x the light.
just found this: "These bulbs attain light levels 75% to 110% brighter than stock as a result of an engineering process that deposits multiple, yet almost invisible, layers of semi-reflective coating on the surface of a specially shaped quartz bulb."
