Default Headlight Question

I changed headlight bulbs this evening. I went from 9005/9006 to 9011/9012 HIRs. It seems like a pretty good upgrade.

Now to my question... When optesting my installation I noticed that when in low beams only the two outer bulbs were lit and when in high beams only the two inner bulbs were lit. Is this correct? It surprised me that all four weren't lit when in high beams. The only time all were lit was when in flash to pass.

I have to assume everything's working correctly and that I just hadn't payed attention previously.

Yep, that's normal.
Some have done a mod to keep the low beams on
with the high beams... try a search.

I just used the kit for a 2001 Chevy truck. Comes with directions, relay, wires, inline fuse and connectors.
