I always assumed they did but when i looked the other day the inner two handle the pass/main beam and the outer two handle the side/dipped beam

Is that how its supposed to be - and if so can you make the outer two flash so all four light up?

Cheers :D

Should be easy enough to do with a couple of blocking diodes feeding the two relay coils if you really want to.
