I feel kinda like I'm a light expert by now. First I do get occasionally flashed with my 35w HID headlights. I'm not sure if everybody above really is sure they have 55w HIDs, those are RARE and you will probably get flashed up and down every street with lights that bright and the hummer being so high compared to regular cars.

I do think there is a better solution is what I've done (pics below). Put HID fog lights in and extra brush guard lights. Note you cant put HIDs in the fog light DRL housing, you have to take the housing out and put a new enclosed ballast. You can find em on ebay for $200 enclosed and ready to go. I drive with my headlights only on if there is alot of traffic around me. When there is little traffic around me or no traffic but on a main road I use my HID fog lights which almost doubles the power. Then if I'm on a side road with no traffic or offroad then I will put on my super powered brush guard HID lights. Those are not a flood type but a beam type and I have the pointed high and they light up two kinda big spots on the road right in front of you and theyre ultra bright. Its nice because you can flick a switch and control how much light you have.

Also of note I had roof mounted offroad lights before and took them off. The setup I have now is superior to them. IF you ever add offroad roof mounted lights I would suggest they HAVE to be HID. Without HID they dont have enough power to light up stuff unless your really close to the object. Plus I dont have the wind drag having lights on the roof and losing more MPG. Plus you will never be able to use these onroad as I've gotten tickets in my h1 before for using the roof mounted offroad lights down a dark side road and turning them off as soon as you see a car. Well if that car is a cop they'll give you a ticket or at least a warning everytime, even for turning them off.
