If the lights closest together are on, those are your hi's.....

I am pretty sure all daytime running lights are hi's at half power

It depends on the model year, Mine is a 2003 CDN 2DR With my DRL'S are the high beam at half power.

they are both about the same brightness. They say that 35 watts last longer since its not as much stress on the ballast and the bulb. I actually have mine backwards. 55 watts on the lows and 35 watts on the highs. there isn't a noticeable difference in which one is brighter. I just got stingy and didn't want to pay the extra $10 for the 55 watts for the highs.

When I ordered HID's for the lowbeam projectors I got 9005's because the housing was made for the 9005 bulbs. I suspect a few on here with projectors may have the same set-up & didn't notice the 9005 "low beam" bulb. I didn't have any issues installing either the HID's or projectors & both are fine to this day. (knock on wood) LOL
PS: they're 35 watt HID's & light up every reflective surface/sign for at least 1/2 mile on the highway lol

I have halo projectors with HID's in the low beam spot. I'm running 6000K HID's and I like em. I don't like the blue headlights, they give me a headache. The 6000K to me is the closest to white with a slight hint of blue. When I bought them, they were called Diamond White.
