Is it possible?

It's possible (the '03 and newer LSes keep the low beams on when the highs come on), but if you have a pre-'03, it's not advisable unless you replace the wiring harness that feeds the headlights. That harness is not designed to carry the current of all four lamps simultaneously, so it could be a fire hazard.
the bigger issue is the warm up process on your hid's. if you drive around w/your brights on for a few minutes (HID's off) when you switch back to low beams the hid's will be VERY dim at first....and very blue. sounds dangerous. figure out a way to get the wiring right. I'd check into the current issue though. IIRC HID's pull much less current than standard halogen's.

hey I have hid and when I flash some two or more times my right hid doesnt come back on??? anyone know whats up with that??
you need to wire so that they stay on. probably the igniter fails after too many fast on/off cycles. I'm no expert on these, but I do know HID's were not designed for fast on/off cycles. You need to rewire so they stay on w/high beams.

You may want to add a relay to your harness to boost it up.

Yes it is possible with halogen lights, so why not with HID's? Theres one member on here who has done this, check out this thread:

" Have Done It With My 2000 Ls. Very Simple Get 4 Fog-light Relays- 2 For Each Side- You Tie 1 Relay So The Highbeam Power Trips The Relay And Sends A Seconday Power To The Low Beam, You Need To Repeat This For The Fog Lights Also... All For Under 50.00 If You Are Interested I Have A Schematic."
