Rep Power: 297 Are these a good thing to have?
No, they are probably dimmer than your stock lights.
They are only good for looks but does nothing to help you out at night.
I suggest...
...put your stock lights back on.
...buy some road legal "blue" lights like Sylvania Silverstars if you want a white light.
...HID retrofit.

As long as they aren't dimmer than your stock bulbs at night, then you should be okay.
If the bulb is in the 100s watt range for low and high beam, then it may overheat and melt your wires.
