Yes. It doubles the current running through the wiring - its not particularly safe to do that.

Plus you can get stopped and fined for it as they are against the law for road use as earlier mentioned.

6000ks are rather blue, and a projector makes it even more so! 8)

LED style full beams? I presume you mean HID style full beams? Something like Osram Night Breakers should be pretty good for them.
