It's not just a high beam, it's a passing light as well, you'd have been better off swapping to both H4 instead.Looks like a fail anyway.http://www.motuk.com/Motorcycle%20MOT.asp

I can't put H4 as it be to bright for other vehicles?
... if they can`t see a bright light coming towards them then they must drive with eyes closed

By someone from the insurance industry, it was a brief explanation of police findings from various accidents.One such case was a fatal head-on collision between a bike and car at night on a hazard-free bit of road. The conclusion was that the bike had its lights on full beam, the car driver couldn't see where he was going, braked, but it wasn't enough.
i have H4 100w in both sides full+ main beam work on both lights

Apart from 100W being illegal (although how could anyone tell easily?) the alternator puts out 18A at 5000 rpm. Two 100W is going to take about 16A so you have bugger all left for tail lamp (0.5A), brake light (2A) and indicators (2A front and 2A back).
