Not to split hairs Andre, but I can hold the stalk back and get both low and
high beams on mk Mk2.  Perhaps there is an easy way to wire the column in
the Mk2's as well.

And while we are on the subject of lights, I put in higher wattage bulbs for
the rear parking lamps.  Man, what a difference in preformance.  I think it
adds at least .5hp from the extra photons given off.....:)   It does look a
little brighter at night though, a little more visible.  Still working on
getting those rear fog light locations to work.
