That's not quite the case, although I thought it was. On Sportshatch, you are correct - switch on dip beams and the outer lights are on, switch to mains and the outers go out and the inners are on. Flashing main beams would only bring on the inner lights, unless the outers were already on. I think the issue is that the Magnum headlamp switch isn't up to the job of taking current for four lamps.
On HPF, though, the manual does say that "movement of the headlamp lever downwards, on the axis of the steering column, brings on all four headlights. Upwards movement of the lever to the central position switches off the inner pair of lights and leaves on only the outer pair, which have permanently dipped beams." It also goes on to say that the headlamp flash action, pulling the lever towards the driver, only flashes the inner lights.
My relay board doesn't work that way, though. Pulling the lever towards me will flash all four lights, otherwise it's either just the outers, or all four. I think we talked about the circuit David, I just found it on the net somewhere. I've mounted the board on the same bolts that hold one of the horns in place, because I wanted to make it easy to switch back to the original wiring if needed.
The above is only on snoots, though.

Do the Singhs have no extra ones, or do you have to buy the set with lights and adjusters? Probably possible to make some from flat steel if not. I dropped on two brand new ones at Tatton Park autojumble years ago, 50p each, but they're on my Firenza, and I had a few on the hatch that had rusted so badly I had to use the "bad" ones from the HPF.
