I went out and readjusted the beams, low beam lower than before, and then went for a ride. Looks like its too close to me so I can see far enough down the road. I adjusted the low beams upwards a bit, and now I can see better.

However, the high beam seems "useless" for a lack of better words. Whether the low beams at higher or lower, high beams do not seem to have much of a directed light. They just seem to go everywhere and a little light everywhere means all is dark. No concentration of light anywhere. I can use the vacuum switch to lower the low beams (from position 0 to 2 on the knob), but the high beams still don't do much for me.

If I park the car in the driveway, the high beams light up the whole garage door, while the low beams light up the bottom foot or so.

Is it possible I installed the H4 bulb wrong? I mean it has three tabs, and they have to fit in slots. I think there is only one way they fit, but I'm not 100% sure. I put them the way I thought was right.

How about more powerful bulbs? Can I go to 100w or is something going to melt or too much load on the electrical system?
