nonono let me explain... highbeams on = both headlights work, both parkers, both highbeams highbeams off = drivers side headlight works, and both parkers...

i didnt know yoru parkers turned on when high beam or even low beam is on.. and the same with the high beam.. low beam lights shouldnt be on either.. you sure you wired it up all correctly.. sounds wierd.. i dont see how you could get it wrong.. i replaced my with the proepr globes myself and have had the lights out many times... but never had a sort of issue..

yup, should be high or low, never high and low. the only time you can get both is if you hold the stalk but not click it when going from lo to hi, or hold the stalk fully when going from hi to lo [in my case anyway]

The main headlight has a low beam and high beam in the 1 globe. The driving lights have just a high beam. Sounds like you got a dodgy globe and the low beam filiment is broken. You didn't touch the glass with your fingers did you? The oil from your skin on the glass can cause the globe to fail, although i think the glass breaks in this situation.
