Default VERY dumb question, no flaming please

Hey I'm probably gonna lower all your IQs by asking this question, but how do brights on the xA work? I'm looking into buying a set of luminics titanium white bulbs, but there arent any specific high beam bulbs (for example, the tC has different bulbs for low beams and high beams, in sizes 9006 and 9005, respectively), which leads me to believe that when you turn on the brights in the xA, it's simply the same bulb being angled differently to project the light.

Am I right? completely wrong? @#$%-ing stupid either way?

Two different filaments in the headlight... one is shielded (the low) and the other isn't... the high, and that unshielded light hits the reflector housing differently, and TADA, BRIGHT!

Just watch the luminics, as they have fried a few cables in the past... but, it's a nifty setup.
