You have it right James, my CAD headlights have the exact same set up as
yours

> Thanks for the info on the Euro lights, perhaps the Canadian version is
different than the US version (although I thought the North American models
are all the same). My front headlights have the lows, the highs, and the
fogs. The lows double as DRL (Daytime Running Lights) with a reduced voltage
(8volts rather than 12volts) when the car is on, when I turn the headlights
on it switches to full voltage (12 Volts). I don't have this 5w parking
light in the headlight (or never noticed it...), I do have a dual filament
bulb in my turn signal lense in the front, this provides the stupid "Orange
dim to Orange bright), the Orange dim is what I called the "city lights".
