Wow, that is beyond false. So false, actually, it's opposite. The HID draw is only 35W, not the 50W like the standard 9006 bulbs that came with the car. The 9005 High Beams are completely separate. Ask your friend who told you thing about the high beams being disabled for his advice on an important subject, and then do the exact opposite of what he says and you'll be all set.
