No, the high beam only comes on with the switch or if you've already done the dual-headlight mod.
I think if you go with a HID system on the low-beam and use the standard bulb on the high-beam you'll get all the visibility you really need without potentially blinding oncoming traffic or the drivers in front of you.
While our reflector bowls aren't HID-specific, they don't really give off glare. The light is well-controlled and if you keep the K color temp of HID down to under 4500K, you're getting very good light output. Anything higher and you are reducing your own visibility for the sake of "cool factor"
