APC super whites

Hey all,
I just picked up a pair of APC Super White "High wattage Xenon gas" H4 bulbs..........they say on the package that they are not for highway use...for offroad use only.....and that they are 100/90 watts...... my question is this, can I use these? Are they okay bulbs? Any known problems?

Can I actually get pulled over for having these? I guess I just can't figure out how a cop would know......


Anyway, thanks!

I wouldn't put high wattage bulbs on if my life depended on it. I'd get fog lights... Or HID if it's really necessary, but burning out wiring is bad bad bad

yes, anything thats the same or close to original bulb wattage. sylvania cool blues are an option, but illegal in some states.
