It's still not a good idea. The HID bulb will not have enough time to warm up if you use it to flash. If you want it just as a high beam, where do you live? Do a lot of night time driving with not many other cars on the road? Are the streets lit well enough to NOT warrant this?

Get DRLs if you want safety. HIDs in the high beams (reflector housing) is overkill for our already great low beam.
