What works for me to define faces and add them to hi-lock-face-defaults,
are the following two snippets in my .emacs:
(defface hi-test
'((((background dark)) (:background "white" :foreground "red"))
(t (:background "white")))
"Face for hi-lock mode."
:group 'hi-lock-faces)
(add-hook 'hi-lock-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(setq hi-lock-face-defaults '("hi-green" "hi-blue" "hi-red"
"hi-cyan" "hi-magenta" "hi-yellow" "hi-test"))))
