No, I mean I've seen someone be able to retain their factory HID (but not adaptive) but I'm unsure of how they were able to do that.

They did not convert to halogen or an aftermarket HID solution.

Not sure if coding alone is enough to disable adaptive AND get these halogen units to work with xenon equipped car.

Don't think I'd recommend HID for high beam since they take a few seconds to warm up, but high beams are also used to flash.

My 2 cents.

Wouldn’t I be able to just do a HID conversion on the headlights to get similar light output?

Oem projectors are MUCH better than the aftermarket ones

old thread, but is anyone having issues with the high beams not staying on?

I had an intermittent issue on one side only, turned out to be one of the wires in the harness that connects to the oem connector.

Had a knowledgeable friend help me so don't know too many details.
