I don't believe that's true. A lot of cars had low beams that stayed on with the high beams. As an example, on my '99 Honda Accord both sets of lights would be lit.
One of our forum vendors... I believe it's the Hi-4 relay kit, sold by Radioflyer, but I might be wrong.

close but not quite, but I have yet to see this and it would make bi-xenon headlight illegal.
The regulation is that no more than 4 forward projecting lights may be illuminated at any time. For a typical reflector-type headlight system, it makes sense to shut off the low beams when high beams are active since high beams are designed to illuminate further and in order to be effective foreground lighting needs to be minimized. The problem is with the C5's horribly dated fresnel headlights and older halogen bulbs, the driver needs all the output he can get just to see safely.
