Can't remember which is top or bottom, but yes Hibeam is 2 and low/hi beam is 3.
 
wierd. well, reason i ask is, i just did the LMC headlight wire harness and it has the 2 prong lights labled as low beam and the three prong labled as high.

well, in my rig the three prong lights are on top and come one as low beams, and when i hit the high beams the bottom come on as well....

sooo, does this mean my high beams are coming on first and the lows when i hight the switch? or is the chinese LMC crap labled backwards? :dunno::dunno::dunno:

don't see how the low beams would or should be on the bottom. don't see how the high beams would be on alone. strange. i think its just back assward
 
Mislabeled or something, 3 prong lights are dual filament bulbs, running low beams, lower wattage element lights up, when you hit the high beams, the second element lights up as well, along with your high beams in the lower position.
 
low as in the lower bulb would be two, but they are the high beam.


High as in the upper bulb would be the low/high, and are three.

maybe this is what their half arsed labeling ment :dunno:

anyways, thanks for the replies. its all done and hoooked up just how it was originaly and works great. the labeling just threw me. can't expect too much from LMC anyways. I had planned to make my own setup this time around, but i got impatient and wanted it all put together before i leave for the coast this week.
