Why doesn't main beam work with the switch set to "0"?
If the lights come on by themselves and switch off by themselves regardless of where the switch is positioned is there any reason not to leave the switch set to "on" all the time?
This is how it works in Sweden and other countries that have them. Only the "Parking Lights" position (ie the one in the middle) turns off the main dipped beam. O and On are both On modes.

The light sensor also runs the intensity of the lights in you sat nav and other instrument lights.
