There are pros/cons to modulators and HIDs. I know some people don't like modulators, but I've decided I do. That being said, I wanted to get the best of both worlds. This idea was mentioned here, but the topic went a little off-track and didn't get into the technical details, which is why I'm creating a new post.
I think this setup may be possible by using a Low HID / high halogen bulb, such as this one, and a modulator that works on only the high-beam (such as the Comagination or the Kisan.)
From the HID manufacturer's website, there are three types of bulbs to choose from: (1) Single beam, (2) Low HID / high halogen, and (3) Bi Xenon.
I've attached a diagram from the HID manufacturer. It looks like I could just add the modulator as normal to the high-beam wire either before the harness (so splicing into factory wire), or splice into the HID wire harness.
Any thoughts on if this setup? Has anyone tried this before?

However, I read on another site:- The single beam has no high beam.
- The low HID / high halogen has a HID bulb for the low beam and a halogen bulb for the high beam.
- The Bi Xenon bulb has a HID bulb that moves inward for high beam, so both the high and low beams are HID.
I'm not sure if that is accurate or matters because I would be using the high-beam with modulator during the day to increase visibility, not to see.the High portion of the High/Low bulb is NOT used for high beam driving as it will never point straight ahead. Its just for passing inspection.
