You'd typically swap out the 9006 low beam bulbs. You usually don't keep your high beams on for extended amounts of time and they're constantly being turned on and off. You don't want to turn on and off your ballasts constantly as it'd put a considerable amount of wear on them.

Low beams are for daily driving use, high beams for...I don't know because I never use them except for flashing people and my DRL's! They are meant to be for nighttime driving when no one is in oncoming lane and you want to see more of the road.
