Re: [AMC-List] headlights

["Jim Blair" <carnuck@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I rigged up the lights on my rigs that had vertical 4 light system so the 
bottom light was low beam and the top was high beam due to all the fog where 
I grew up. Having the low beam light on top would blind the driver whether 
on high or low beam. Never did get busted for it. (did get the occaisinal 
ticket for having a high beam out or tail light or license plate light out 
tho)

Incorrect!

A four-headlight system is designed to operate as follows (this
is true for all manufacturers I can think of):
horizontal arrangement: two outer lamps are low/high beam and
two inner lamps are high beam only--this means that on low beam
operation only the two OUTER bulbs should be in use. On high
beam, ALL FOUR of the lamps should be on.
Vertical arrangement: Two upper lamps are low/high beam and two
lower lamps are high beam only. Two uppers on with low beam
only, all four on with high beam.

In the late 80s GM played with this a bit with their really
small sealed beams (think 1988-89 Silverados and 86-89
Centuries, etc), in which case the outside lamps went off with
high beam and the two inner bulbs operated only.
