[Healeys] dash switches -- main beams

[Oudesluys]

In the early days it was quite common, especially in the UK, to see cars 
running town lights when it was dense fog, absolutely lethal!. In the 
rest of EU they mostly ran main dipped or additional fog lights and in 
town under good conditions sometimes town lights.
These days, if the conditions are such that you need to run lights 
(heavy rain, snow, fog, darkness) you have to use at least main dipped 
and/or fog lights. In some countries (e.g Scandinavian countries) you 
have to run driving lights at all times. These can be additional lights 
or main beam dipped. In all other EU countries this practice is 
recommended but many are against it as it makes motorbikes much less 
stand out in traffic.
The use of town lights only is now not allowed anymore.
