The torana use to have parkers then low beam but when you flickid it to high then off again high beam would stay on,i later realized that there were 2 high beams ? 1st high would light up further ahead and the second lit up closser in front aswell as the 1st high beam.if a car was coming and i went to dip it would just bring up the 2nd high so when i went to hi beam i had to make sure i flicked the indacator switch forward then back and then forward just so i could dip to low beam straight away after high so i wouldnt blind anyone,not that their bright.Was this a fault or is it normal ? I now have no low beam and my guess is that its the relay as the low beam wire will activate the high beam but neither wires will activate low beam and i also had no reverse light before but now i do.Ideas anyone

Its not actually a double dip thing. There is only one high beam & one low beam..
The column flasher/dip switch has two functions. The first is that it simply dips between high & low when the headlights are on. The second is a headlight flasher when th |
