The output is not the issue. When you switch to high beams (halogen BTW), you can see practically to eternity. Also as you see people with HIDs have mentioned similar issue.

HIDs are definitely better, but there are 1k more. There are millions of cars with halogen bulbs on the road and most of them have adequate visibility.
