The high beam is similar in function to a "bixenon"; the shield flips up.
My solution will probably be to retrofit a 13-16 HID assembly, or a RS1.0/2.0/Release series headlight.

FWIW, in the cycling world, LED headlights revolutionized the Lumen game. battery size/carrying capacity may be a determining factor for how much HID one could carry, but you can now get 1800 Lumens out of single lense CREE headlight that blow away what was being done with HIDs just 5 years prior, at a much greater runtime.
that said, the 2017 Twin projectors look pretty cloudy/opaque; not sure if by design...
