Head Lamps/Turning Signal

Good replies, but they didn't answer your main question of how to turn the high-beams off. Those guys must be so old they assume "everybody knows that". There is a "dimmer switch" on the floor in front of your left foot that you press to toggle between low and high beams. It is a round shiny metal can that sticks up thru the carpet. I think all cars had them until the multi-switch turn signals started in the 80's. Well, maybe not on Saabs or Peugots.
