I setup my driving lights to low beam, and headlight the same per the tech vault settings of 17 feet etc., and it seems to be pretty close to what looks like legal. We have many deer and assorted other critters 'round here, so speed limit night riding seems prudent in these parts. If someone is coming at me with high a beam at night, and reducing my ability to see the road ahead of me, it's only fair to offer them the same lack of respect and courtesy.
It would seem logical that if it's dark out, a constant high beam is blinding the oncoming driver, which actually may increase ones chances of accident.
Sylvania recently added a new top model to their Silverstar headlight offerings called "Ultra."
