If memory serves me correctly, (and at ten twenty at night I ain't going out to check), there two terminals side by side and one midways just above. That one is ground. You can use a multimeter and check voltage on the plug to find Hi and Lo beam, and even ground. And no, I don't think they are both lit on Hi beam. It's the angle of the reflection that changes. I stand to be corrected, as it has been some time since I have had to deal with a sealed beam, although I personally did not see the necessity to change to the crap that they have now.

I know, I kinda like the lights on my '91 Jeep Cherokee...they are dim..reminding me of the lights (60 Candle Power) that my old '38 Chevy Coupe had..!!!
I read somewhere, they figure you should replace your head light bulbs regularly...!!!!!!!!!
Aint that some fine planning..!!!!!

I have found out which is high and which is low by pointing the sealed beam at a wall or some such and hooking up the wires one at a time. It is pretty easy to tell which is which. Only one at a time is used.
