This isn't exactly true anymore. There are several companies that actually use a small electromagnet within the base of the bulb that will "flick" the bulb slightly giving you a "high beam" effect. This is assuming that you have a single bulb headlight assembly.
I don't have the link currently, aside a local guy who worked w/ Sylvania to create bulbs that allowed this change in bulb angle to work without having to physically light another bulb, allowing you to use two different light angles. It's pretty neat stuff.
