Was thinking of re-wire them so the 5.75s are both on with low beam and using driving lights for high beam. Not sure about everyone else but my headlights are always, without fail, set to bright mode. I really don't care if its legal/ annoying at least I can see/be seen.
That's a myth, so you're being antisocial, annoying and illegal for no good reason and increasing - not decreasing - your risk. First of all, people will look away from high beams. So that's a great result, people are turning their heads away and shading their eyes instead of being aware of your position.
Another possibility is that the glare will simply edit you out in their brains. Literally.
"What actually happens, often enough, is that when a motorcyclist leaves their high beam on as they approach another car, they become a white fog of light. Unfortunately, this is often interpreted by the driver’s brain as meaning nothing is there. If the brain can’t see it, and the driver is already not paying attention, he or she is almost certain not to see the motorcycle. Even if the driver is alert enough to be aware of the presence of another vehicle, the masking effect of the light may make it impossible to judge things like speed, lane position, or even the motorcycle’s use of a turn signal. This can lead to drivers turning left in front of a motorcycle they did not see or could not judge speed and distance on, among other things."

If you are really unhappy about giving up the annoyance factor, get a headlight modulator. They're legal in the States (though pretty much nowhere else) and they actually work, even though they're annoying.
