This may be a stupid question, but which set of lights are regular low beams, and which are high beams? I ask because in my 2007 GL AWD (Canadian model), the DRL/low beams are the set of small outer lights, and the highs are the set of large inner lights. But I could swear that I have seen other SFs driving by me with DRL/lows on the inner large lights. I looked in the manual and it seems to indicate that my set up is correct. But I'm just wondering if I'm crazy.

The outer lenses are always the low beams - it's the law.

Maybe someone put aftermarket DRLs on the high beam wires, which are the inner lenses on some cars in the US market.

The outer lights are the low beams. The inner ones are the high beams and the DRL's. The DRL's run at reduced power/wattage than the high beams.

The projection lights are the normal. The standard inside lights are high beams. Unless someone really messed up on their wiring, even with read HID lights, the projection headlights only puts light on the road.
Almost a year and no one has ever flashed my car with HID.
Maybe their lows are burned out and they are too cheap to replace them? ?
They are very difficult to replace.
