Driving lights -operation?

[thomas_sorrentino]

Tommy 2 shoes,
I am in the process of getting mine working and everyhing that Curt
S. has said is the way mine work also. I don't know of any logic
behind it working off the high beams. Mine has 1 clear and 1 amber
light. The amber light, the lens is broke. I've gotten as far as e-
mailing photo's to hella to get a replacement clear lens (then I'll
have two clear ones).
Does anyone happen to have a part number?
Once I get the new air cyclinder and new lense I think mine should
work as designed. I may have to make some adjustments on the clevis
pin on the air cylinder, the micro switch and some lubrication,
though.
