Default Headlight bulb orientation question

I know this sounds lame, and I apologize in advance, but I need someone else to verify the high beam/low beam light bulb positions for me. I know that the low beams are 9006 and the high beams are 9005. My question is this: are the low beam bulbs in the 'outside' position or the 'inside' position of the lens if you are looking at the lens from the front of the car?

Reason I'm asking is that I'm installing HID's and some different high-beam bulbs, and from the HID installations pictures I've seen here on the forum, I seriously think my high-beams and low-beams are 'reversed', and I want to make sure that if they are backwards, I put them back in correctly.

Thanks!
