Its the same ballast.

Do you use your high beams at all? I had dual beam HID's and never used the high beams.

The ballasts are the same but, the bulbs are different.

The "hassle" of having highs and lows depends on your state. In Virginia state inspection requires a car to have functional highs and lows, if the car came equipped from the factory with them. Be sure to check your state's code.

This would be the safest and probably the smartest thing to do.

dont do it.. the high beam on those bulbs is just a small halogen bulb... go with the a stock clear lens housing and do a retrofit and you could still use the ballasts you have now..
