Post Facelift headlight question

Hello all,

New here, considering an X5 as my next car. I currently have two BMWs and have always been a fan of theirs.

Anyway, I'm on an "extended test drive" of a 2005 X5 3.0i which has the adaptive Bi-Xenons and I noticed something which I'm sure all of you know, the inner halogen "high beams" only light up on flash-to-pass. Now, I previously had a 2007 VW Jetta GLI which had a similar setup but via computer programming (with VAG-COM) I could set it so that the halogen highs came on with the bi-xenons which was awesome because it gave TONS of light.

The point I'm getting at is, is there any way to do this on the X5? I hate "unused light" and it always bugs me when there's lights available that aren't being used but could or should be, I just like the idea of maximum light.

I did searching and it seems that Euro-spec X5s light up both the Bi-Xenons and the halogen highs, is it possible all that's needed is a Euro LCM to set this up? Or is custom wiring needed?

Wondering if anyone has messed with this.
