The lights in my 88 GL don't work that way.

One way the outer lights come on as dims, the inner lights are off. The
other way the outer lights turn off, and the inner (small lamp) lamps
(brights) turn on. I have always found that a little strange, but thats
how they work. I always thought that the inner and outers should be on
simultaneously for at least one setting - Brights.

Regards,
