The inner H1 euro lights are indeed "driving lights" with only two 
settings - off and high.  Normally, you would have these wired with your 
high beam triggers, so that when the outer H3 switch from low to hi, the 
inners come on at that time.  My city lights come on when the "parking" 
lights and dash lights come on (1st click of the headlight switch)

Here are some fun options if you relay your Euros - I did these and I 
love them:
Jumper your High beams to your low beams un the steering column so the 
the H3 lows stay on while the H3 and H1 highs are on. see

Add an extra pair of relays and a toggle switch so that you have 
independent control of you inner high beams ( see diagram 3)
