Potential fire hazard. I would not run it this way ever, the switch is bound to burn out.

If you read the post "sportsman headlight Mod" posted 8 April 05 a lot of people are talking about how bad it is to run the switch half between high and low. They do offer other solutions to the problem light a mod so that you can run 1, 2 or 3 lights.
