So lets say you put a hid conversion kit in your car, your low beam light is the same bulb as your high beam. What would happen if you have a hid kit installed and turned your high beams on???

What he said. To "reset", I have to power the lights off then on again. Not really a good thing to mess with if you're on a dark, twisty road somewhere. A definitely drawback to these HID kits. I've trained myself to stay away from the high beams.
There are OEM-style HID's that have a 'eye-lid' of sorts in the housing. Regular lights, the lid is down. When you want 'high beams', instead of adding more current to a new filament, doubling (or close to it) the output of the bulb (like a Halogen would do)...it is just a matter of opening up the eye lid a bit..

called bi-xenon (but really are not overly effective in a 9007 style base, works best with a projector housing) or do a search on how to correctly wire your low beam only HID's so they wont go off on the high beam mode or flash to pass. Simple matter of putting diodes in relay circuit so they are always on.
Make the following connections on a relay and this will have your low beams stay on when you turn on your high beams;
* (30) - To the battery using an in-line fuse
* (85) - To a good ground
* (86) - Tap in to the High Beam wire
* (87) - Tap in to Low beam wire
* (87A) - Not used
