What happens when you're changing gear in a manual and the box goes through N, do the lights flick off and on again every time?

Thanks Wiggs for the clarification. I presume dipped beam would be on at night (as without auto headlights, the car doesn't know it's night) but you wouldn't be able to select main beam without actually turning the light switch on.Dave Neil
