I was really surprised to find my Toshiba 9011 HIR bulbs in my mailbox yesterday, they made it from Washington quick, kudos USPS.
The HIRs don't make a HOLY CRAP difference, but there is a very noticeable difference. They aren't quite as bright as my 55w HIDs were (however, they might compare to a 35w 3500k set), going along with what drperry said earlier, they reach much farther down the road than the HIDs did. Take a ride down a long straight stretch of road lined with trees and you'll really see the difference they make, even more so if there are a bunch of reflective roadsigns.
IMO, the HIR bulbs are the way to go for highbeams. The 55w HIDs are a bit brighter and have a much whiter color, but the HIRs reach much farther down the road and have a better, more even light spread. Not to mention, they don't require a relay, come on instantly, and can be flashed.
