    Inner Spotlights, high beam?

    This seems like a really stupid question but are the inner spotlights on the 4 light grills supposed to be only for high beam by default? I thought they were but looking at my existing wiring im not so sure.

    Ive seen people hook them up to do various things (high/low/standalone) but what are they normally?

    cheers,

    Simon

    The lights should only be spotlights, wired into the high beam circuit so they can only be turned on when high beam is working. Rego should check this but it's one of the things they miss in their rush to inspect a car and get their $31.

        Now you have me thinking....im pretty sure that mine are wired as highbeams (I need to double check); my car is totally stock so I doubt the lights have been re-wired, I'll take a look tomorrow
