Disabling DRL via Carista for Android will let you retain high beam. TechStream should give you the same option.
LED - as mentioned, most don't have enough range. Maybe the new stuff coming out from Diode Dynamics (SL1 LED) will change that, but that remains to be seen.
Ideally, you would crack open the stock housing, do some type of bi-xenon retro fit (i.e. the retro-quick system for the FRS from Retrofit Source/Morimoto) for HID highs and optional reflector high beams.

You could also just disable DRL, toss a PnP HID kit in the high beam reflector, and run just the highs like that when no other cars are on the road. You would lose the ability to flash other people with the highs (not good for the HID system,) and would also have to plan for a bit of warm up time on the HID when enabling high beams. For these reasons, this method is far from ideal but probably ok if you regularly travel long stretches of back roads with zero traffic.
