Default high beam for running daylight

Any thoughts on using high beam during the day? good idea or bad idea?

too bad they don't make both lights come on for normal use.

I use high beam during the day (and I'm running true HID's). Makes it a little easier for the cagers to see me -- I hope.

Me and all of my boys run high beams all day long period. I don't want to hear "I didn't see him officer". I'd rather get the middle finger for bright lights in the rearview mirror than someone not seeing me.

running both beams during the day is a great idea!
also, if you want to customize and run dual headlights, check this post. should be similar for the RR.

Both beams day and night all the time... unless i get stuck right behind someone at night i flick the high beam off. Otherwise it's both beams 24/7.

Just wondering is the Highbeam and Regular Beam bulbs the same but aimed differently?

I use it during the day, whatever I can do to be more visible.
