Hi bro just wondering how come both the hi & lo beam uses the same H4 lamp?
This car's headlight system is a little confusing..

Ok if that is the case then i first need to clarify if my headlamp switching arrangement is correct. currently on my perdana i have the head lights working this way:

1) on the headlamp lever right of steering, the fog lamp switch - turns on a small secondary bulb in the biggest headlamp compartment

2) the switch above the front right speaker (with an altered symbol of a lo beam) - together with the fog lamp switch on, turns on the light in the smaller headlamp compartment together with the bulb in (1)

3) on the headlamp lever right of steering, the hi beam switch - turns on the main bulb in the biggest headlamp compartment

with this arrangement I do not see a way to turn on a 2nd filament for the bulb in the biggest compartment (i'm guessing this would be the H4 allocation) even when i try flashing with the headlamp lever.

is there something wrong with my car's switching arrangement?
i'd only just bought this so i'm not sure what is the standard lights arrangement

hullo fren, if you're going to respond pls read my text properly don't just zzz brief tru. i am asking how 4 headlamp lights in total has only 3 switching controls. it is not something u could visually inspect by lifting the bonnet. i've seen dual filament bulbs since ages ago, but on this car i am unable to turn on that 2nd filament with the hi beam lever switch. it only turns on the H4 1st filament (lo beam).

nice one einstien take a guess where that got me
