that is because it uses a single 35w fog light bulb in a properly designed and focused HUGE reflector.

The headlight bulb is running both filaments in the same bulb. I would be surprised if it lasted more than a year if you regularly use the high beams from the glass melting. (Dont ever buy those silver star headlights for your modern for the same reason - the 2 sets I used in 2 different cars melted the glass - not covered under their warranty)
