Would it be okay to get the 80w/100w rally bulbs for use as full beam.

Its not like they are on all the time just for dark country lanes.....

Thought that could be an issue.... What bulbs would you recommend for full beam?

I have a few SMDs in each side. It's pretty bright. Kinda like the R8 lights condensed into the corners.
