• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

Silly me for not catching this earlier, but I just realized that the SX’s high beam is not a projector beam, it’s a reflector housing right underneath the amber DRL ring. Since the car has two projector lenses, I figured the top was low beam and the bottom one was high beam. So now my question is – what does the bottom projector lens do? Are both projector beams low beams?

Both of the elements within the DRL ring are your low beams. They’re both on if your headlights are on.

Technically, the lower of the two is “sub low” beam (according to the manual).
