there's nothing to gain, and a bit to lose doing that.

1st, you'd have to lower the lights so much you'd make the low beams completely useless.
2nd, the high beam HIDs pointed that far down will be pretty much the same as just putting them in the low beam location.
3rd, the low beam location uses projectors, the high beams do not. There will be far more glare and the light output will have no cutoff and piss off just about every driver (and cop) you come across.
4th, you'll then have no true high beams.

If you want to do this for a showcar, feel free. But please keep such an idiotic lighting setup off the streets.
