Yep, all six filaments on at once with highbeams selected and the yanker
yanked.

But, grasshopper, the silly lenses are sooooo poorly made that you'r pouring
coffee on a drunk.

He's awake now but still drunk.  Formerly you had a sleepy drunk now you
have a wideawake drunk...

Ditch those POS $$$ boutique headlights and just put in some H4 7" round
with reasonably upgraded bulbs and *real* wiring and relays.

100/80W will give excellent low beam performance using a bosch, hella,
cibie, marchal sharp cutoff lens.  You won't need the highbeams at all for
most night driving.  And of course ... 360W on demand.  If you need even
more...Cibie Bi-oscars will provide toad smokin' power.  Alas no longer made
but I have a vintage set for sale at the usual market price of $250 / pr.
Dual bulb Halogen, manly reflectors, excellent low beam cutoff.  Works with
your high-low beam relay set up.
