Default Anybody got any idea why high/low H/L are backwards?

As the title says, my high is low and vice versa, and I have verified that the wires getting power in the plug are correct, one says drive and the other high or something similar, and each has power in the corresponding switch position. It's like the bulb itself is backwards, but I just put in an H4 Xenon bulb and it's the same??? There seems to be too wide a spread between high and low too, low is too low and high is too high. Not a major issue, but it bugs me a little, my bike is sooo close to perfect, (for me that is), and I'd like to figger this out,

just be happy your left hand switch works. I bought a new one for $50 shipped thinking it would cure my headlight problem (not turning on), and the headlight still did not turn on! I had to wire the head lamp straight to the battery with an inline switch between it.

If it didn't, I'd fix it right....

I considered that, but they are correct according to the way they are marked, there must be some reason it's working like it is, and I intend to find it. One of these days, I plan on installing a home brewed ignition kill like the air shifters use so I can shift quicker at the track without letting off the throttle, and use my horn button to do it, I'll probably dig into the light wiring then and try to figure out what's going on while I'm at it. .
