Why is it so hard to believe that never actually using or looking at the controls it might somehow be unclear what the correct position is supposed to be, or if I'm already in it, when I can't see it? Get real,

heh. There's no way this compares to mixing up gas and brake, now that I have to say you've got to be kidding to. You use those pedals all the time, every single time you drive. I hadn't touched the headlight controls in probably a year or more, or even thought about them, because they're always in the same position and never require any attention. Pick any other control in the car that you never use and tell me you could close your eyes and find it and change the setting on it correctly blind.
