Gen1 proper HID conversion?

I was wondering what to buy, since my car uses a combination of 9006 for lowbeam and 9005 for high beam. Do kits replace the need for a highbeam? Or should I buy two kits? One 35W(9006) for the low beam and one 55W(9005) set for the highbeam?

What is the norm in my case?

Yeah, but aside from the housing, would any of the setups previously described be any better than the other?

I've got 5000k 9006s' HIDs' for my low beams right now... it's a little too dazzling on the 1st gen Avalons... right now I'm looking for a eyelid or eyebrow kit to minimize glare to oncoming traffic. Anyone have any ideas?
