Headlight Functionality
-------------------------------


Headlights Off:

DRL should be on (only inner pair of lights at half intensity - high beams)
indicator light on guage cluster should be dim

Headlights Position 1:

DRL should be off (only outer pair of lights are on - low beams)
(corners, instrument cluste, etc.)

Headlights Position 2:

DRL should be off (only inner pair of lights at full intensity - high beams)
indicator light on guage cluster should be bright



Is this the correct sequence?

The reason I ask is because I noticed something out of the ordinary today. When I switched to the second position, both pairs of lights turned on. Up until this day, only the outer ones would turn on. Is this how it is supposed to work? Thanks.


On a sidenote, I'm thinking of adding the Stanley amber sidemarkers. Any tips?

well, i was getting into my car and i accidentally pulled back on the light switch (i didn't know that this switched between low and high beam mode). when i tried to turn on the lowbeams, both pairs turned on. it was so bright. i thought wires had touched so i drove with the DRL and corners on. after some research, i figured out about the mode switch and switched it back. you learn something new every day =)
