Whyfor do you want such a bright light?
When running on lonely roads at night you can use bright headlights to light up the road -- so that you are not overdriving your lights at 70 mph. Under streetlights, in traffic, the only thing you will accomplish with a too bright headlight is annoy others. Annoying others can be hazardous to your health.
When I had my four 100 watt Lucas Square-Eight driving lights on my rallye sedan I would shut them off whenever another vehicle was within a half mile in front of me, so as to not blind them.
If I wanted more light for use on lonely roads at night I would install a light bar with a 100 watt pencil beam on a separate switch.
