Default Easy headlamp Question

Could one of the Vette experts answer this easy question for me. I must admit I'm a little embarassed to ask.:o On a C3 four headlamp system, which lights on the outside and which on the inside? Right now I have the Dual hi low beams on the outside and the high beams on the inside. Thanks Tim

maybe it depends on year, but on my 76 the outside are low beam only and the inside are high beam only. No duals on mine. Don't know why you would have a dual when you have 4 headlights.

High beams go on the inside. I have a 76 and I think I just have lows on the outside.
