No flash-to-pass feature (not on any US-market car, anyway) and no "default" position. Each time the relay receives a ground pulse on S it energizes, and each time it energizes it switches the output from 56a to F (or vise-versa) - it's designed so that when it's on F the next pulse will change it to 56a, and when it's on 56a the next pulse will change it to F. Hard to describe without a picture, but it's just accomplished by the physical design of the internal mechanism. http://www.nls.net/mp/volks/schem/hibeam3.gif
