no highbeam switch?

do FDs not have a highbeam switch that leaves the highbeams on? I know that if you pull the left control arm toward you it turns on the highbeams but you have to hold it there, and that most other cars you can push that same arm back towards the engine and have the highbeams stay on until you push it back into the middle...i like using highbeams when im driving through dim lit roads in the wee morning

Pretty sure my FD's highbeams come one and stay on, when you push it towards the engine.

However, the wiring on mine got kind of boinged when the column switches were replaced after a break on. For me, high beams are always on when the headlights are on, and engaging highbeams permanently, only turns off the low beams. I think this is reversed, as i beleive the wiring for lowbeams is such that they turn off, when highbeams are on.
