Driving lights -operation?

[Pete Masterson]

Whether it makes sense, or not, that's how it works. I guess they
consider them "driving" lights. When I had an MG-B sports car, I had
high intensity driving lights that came on with high-beam unless
their separate switch was off. "Fog" lights are normally set to work
with low beam.

Also the rear "landing lights" only operate when the coach is in
reverse. Not much help when I wanted some light to unhook my toad --
I sure didn't want to put the bus in reverse to then work behind it!
I plan to re-wire the rear lights someday....
