Default 79 Headlights

I just replaced all my headlamp sockets and headlamp bulbs. Can anyone tell me with the high beams on, do all four lamps come on or just the two center ones. Thanks for any reply.

Outers are low beam and have two elements; inners are high beam and have only one element. All 4 are lit with high beams on.

If memory serves, the three prong connect goes to low beams; two prong connector to high beams.
