I had suspected something like that, I had intended to wire them to a relay
operated off the dip beam.
Incidentally the main beam was not working tonight anyway, the wire has come
adrift from the switch and seeing as the connection is a soldered one the
best I could do is wrap it round the joint and crimp it with a pair of
pliars in the absence of having a power supply for a soldering iron.
