A driving light should be adjusted for distance penetration (whether
laterally - wide-angle or directly ahead - long-distance) and set to
work with high beam, and should run through the dipswitch so that
when you select low beam the drivinglights are cut, and come on again
with high beam.

Some listees are getting confused with foglights, which are normally
mounted below the bumper... many Japanese cars have these as
standard, and here in NZ many users leave these on at night... even
instead of headlights... blinding oncoming traffic (senselessly, this
isn't illegal here!). These are set low to shine directly ahead (ie
undipped) under fog blankets.

Dunno what lights you're getting there, but they SHOULD be normal H3
high-beams, just as an old Golf GTi would have in this position.

Mine have the following markings on the lens (from top to bottom):
