the projector housing are different, you can put high beams bulb into the low beams, but they won't shine as bringht as they would in the high beam

It is possible but it is overkill. It would be brighter only because the highbeam is not a projector lens.

Not only is it bad for the HID bulbs (just so you know, there are ZERO cars that have OEM HID high beams), but it's also totally unnecessary. When I ride around the backroads at night w/ my HID projector low beams and plain clear halogen 9005 high beams on, it totally lights up the entire road ahead of me. The only reason to even think of getting them is if you're a big balla or if you get them for next to nothing.
