HID lumens question

Ok, so I am going to buy HID, but I can't decide whether to get 9005 or 9006 for the low beam. Now i know that it is supposed to have a 9006 in it, but the "mod" for the halogen is to trim a tab and put the 9005 in the 9006 low beam, thus gaining a considerable amount of lumens. Is this the same for HID that a 9005 has more light output than a 9006 hid? or are all 4300k hids the same lumens no matter if they are 9005 or 9006?
