if you swap in a 'retrofit kit' which is a hid bulb attached to a H4 base you would lose your high beams (i think there are some 'high/low' kits that apparently move the bulb around a bit to mimic the effect of a dual filament bulb) i dont have any first hand experience with any of these retrofit kits myself..
a less expensive route to get more light is to get a higher wattage bulb (say.. 100w) and get a heavy duty wiring harness. i used to run that setup in my focus. a drawback is that it produces a lot of heat, so it might make the lens bubble a little bit near the bulb. total cost is gonna be around $60.. $20 for the bulbs and $40 for the wiring harness
