Yes I suppose you could,
However, the Trail Tech HID light has you running both lamps on Hi beam. The supplied TT wiring harness (see below) has 15 amp fuse, while the stock system only uses 10 amp fuses. So I guess it would depend on which HID light you are going to use and how many watt's it is.
What is the wattage on the stock head light Bulb?
To avoid cutting and splicing though, you are going to have find a molex or other brand of multi pin connector plug that will plug into the stock harness that you will run to your HID light of choice. I agree that would make for a clean installation.
The TT system has a supplied wiring loom that comes with the Hi/Lo/kill switch combo that is extra, around $50 I think. It replaces the stock kill switch and has another set of wires that you run back to your batter. You will have to extend this loom to be able to lay it in with the rest of the wiring loom going back to the battery as it is not long enough. This is done easy enough with a little bit of wire and some heat shrink to cover the splices and provide for a little extra protection on the wire itself. I usually run two layers of heat shrink for extra abrasion resistance.
You are mistaken about the TT HID light (assuming TT X2 HID here). I have one on my bike. The lights are wired separately and will only come on at the same time if you wire them together at the harness.
TrailTech uses a proprietary connector on the headlight. I removed it and sourced a mating connector to the Husaberg/KTM wiring harness which is identical to Kawasaki connectors. I found mine from an older Kawasaki but you can purchase them from

or....
It is also the same connector which comes with the ignition switch for a 2004 Suzuki DRZ400 - the two pole switch that I'm using on my bike. It disables the start button and with a matching pair of Delphi Packard Metripack 150 connectors, I will also be able to kill the fuel pump. (no cutting of the harness for this one)

Molex connectors make the rest of the wiring easy.
