LED headlight discovery regarding the high beams

I discovered something purely by accident regarding my Auto LED headlights that I thought I would share...
When you turn the main headlight switch to auto, (which is where probably all of us leave it) the led lights will not allow you to operate the high beams in a manual fashion. They will only work if you hold the stalk or auto sense turns them on and off.
BUT- when you turn the main headlight switch one more notch to the right - you are now able to turn the high beams on in a manual fashion and leave them on for as long as you wish. Or also pull them back to flash. Basically how all headlight systems are without the auto sense feature.
Try it!
I thought it was a small noteworthy item if the situation is needed for manual control.

Thanks! I never realized that. I've found that the auto sense feature works so well, there's really no reason to use manual high beams.
