Most likely from a Benz, the person I bought them from did not tell me what they were off of. Haven't tested in the night, pretty sure they're not aligned properly, cause there are nubs in the back that dont match correctly with the E28's, oh well, never really use highbeams Anyway, I like the look though.

They won't throw much light any distance that is going to help as a "high beam". They do add decent contrast lighting up close, as they are a true "fog light".

Invest in a decent duel filament unit as your lowbeams and you'll get decent high-beam light.... but not as good as stock.

Turn them upside down and install some brighter bulbs.

I rewired mine and made my outside low beams my low and highs. Euro headlights. I got a euro fog light switch from Big Bronze Rims and switched the mb yellow and the driving lights under the diving boards with one switch. Nothing is relayed and I am able to turn it all on at once. Works great!!
