Hey everyone, thanks for the comments and for the concerns about safety of other drivers with the lights. It's old news now but just want to follow up for anyone else who may come across this thread one day.
I ended up just getting a light bar and mounting it to the bumper and wiring it to its own switch. I like the option of having regular lights, high beams, and this now. Nobody will be blinded because I can flip the switch in a second when I see other's lights coming up in the distance.
Picture attached.
Thanks again for the input, everyone. Really glad I went with the bar instead of messing with the regular lights!

I wasn't going to add more, but..............YES! HID's DO BLIND ONCOMING DRIVERS! When I round a corner at 2am trying to get a patient to the hospital on a dark country road and I'm blinded by HID's in factory halogen housings and nearly run off of the road with someone's parent or child in the back of the ambulance, you wouldn't like HID's either! They are DANGEROUS to other driver's. Please do not make this move if you are considering it. PLEASE! HID's in halogen housings scatter light. This is the reason that they are illegal in factory housings. Sorry to bitch, but facts are facts! Please be courteous, if not to other driver's, at least think about the First Responders on the road!

if they're blinding other drivers then they're adjusted wrong and/or someone has taken a shortcut and put an HID in a non HID housing.
