Headlight question...

[Larry" <rocco16v@netzero.com (Larry)]

US lights: normally, the low LIGHTS will be on low BEAM/FILAMENT when ON
LOW. (make sense?)
the low LIGHTS will be on high BEAM/FILAMENT when ON HIGH.
IOW, the low lights will always be putting out light, either high beam or
low beam.  NORMALLY...
