I've always viewed the inner lights on a South African Grille to be
additional "High beams".  Terminology does serve to confuse the issue,
though, as my 2000 Beetle has "Driving lights" which are small lights in
the grille (below the headlights).  Once switched on, they're on with
both brights and dims.  I don't normally use them and think of them more
as fog lights.
