I had posted the following on an old HID bulb modification thread but don't know how to "bump" it to the top. I hope it's tried by Warchild, Jestal & RocketDoc. Here is a copy:

I have the low beam only HID bulbs. Apparently, I moved the headlight buckets around while regluing the mounting tabs over the winter and they were aimed very high. Recently I've been adjusting them downward to stop blinding oncoming traffic.

While they were aimed too high, they were great as high beams. They even kept the upper cut-off so the tree tops weren't lit up.

If I wanted to use one lamp as low beam and the other as high beam, I would adjust the aim rather than modify the HID bulb or it's location. Since I also have really great Hella FF300 halogen driving lights (so I can keep my modulators) I don't need to consider re aiming of the buckets.

As Mikey would say,"Try it, you'll like it!"
