    You can disable it through the steps outlined in your owners manual. Or you can do what I do and flip the high beams on before you turn the car off. This way it'll flash the high beams. Then when you're ready to drive again, just flip them to get your HID's on. I like seeing my lights when I lock the car so I choose this route with my HID's.

    But I'm getting single beam xenons so would that still work?

    Yep. I have the single beam and it worked. Just follow the manual and also take out the DRL fuse, it will turn the HIDs off during the day and prolong the life of the bulbs.
