I recall that it's possible to mix the ground wires on
the headlights (don't know exactly how; that's why
we have some EEs on the list).  The result is that
when one low-beam light burns out, electricity can
feed back through ground to the high beam, causing
it to glow at less than 100%.

Or something like that.  I'm hoping this will jog someone
with a better memory and more knowledge than me.
