Ron,

My 1966 1800S does have this feature and is a US export model. I believe I located the relay on the 1800 right next to the firewall on the inside of the drivers fender. When the directional signal switch is pulled towards the driver, the highbeams should come on weither the headlights are on or not. When the switch is released the high beams turn off.

This feature is routed through the same fuse as the tachometer power supply (Small two fuse block). I found this out because my relay was bad, and when the momentary highbeams were selected, the tach would lose power until the switch was released. I did determine that the relay was bad, but did not replaced it.

Good luck on the write up. Your site has saved me many hours of frustration.
