My halogen headlights use an H1 bulb for high beams. Want to switch to something white, and bright, and likely not halogen (open to halogen as long as they have long life - most white halogens last a year tops).

Thoughts on using HID or LED for high beams? Given they are used for flashing a lot, is it bad to put HID given they don't get a chance to warm up in those situations?

Just some German made Osrams for H1. HID is a waste for high beams. Can't warm up fast enough and the constant on and off is bad for them. LED can cause errors and the beam pattern won't be great. LED bulbs are better suited for fog light use.
