Default need help with HID's please!

When I bought the truck it had a hid headlight kit in it but it only has one brightness setting. I like the lights but I live out in the country and there are a lot of deer on the roads and the lights aren't even close to bright enough. Is there anyway I can make them have brights/dims? Or how hard is it to get rid of them all together and go back to the factory lights?

I would sh*tcan them if they're not bright and get some 55W 5000K HIDs from Jon on this site. Those will be 5x brighter than stock bulbs.

Is switching from stock headlights to an HID kit a big undertaking? What would something like this cost?

The guy here is selling them for something like $150 or so shipped for Hi/Low beams and fogs. Simple plug and play, takes 20 mins.

Just unplug the HID's and go to autozone or similar place and buy the Sylvania Silverstar Part #H13ST dual element and plug them back into the headlight assembly
