Default High/Low beam HID's. Problem?

Going to for sure install a 9006/6000k hid low beam kit in my 03Z and was wondering if I could run the 9005/6000k hid high beams as well or will there be problems? Will excessive heat be an issue? I have to drive an extremely dark stretch at night between the city and my place and there are ton's of deer and other wildlife to watch out for. Safety is my top priority!

Opinions please

Temperature shouldnt be a problem. For the brights and HID's you wont need to purchase for the brights as the low beams are insane by themselves.
