A question I always wanted to ask about the Ducati 748 headlights... is only one side supposed to be lit when you have your lights on?

Yes - the units are "projector" beams, which means that they are only focussed for one particular spot on the road. You can tell this because if you look inside the lens looks like a really big magnifying glass!

This is why there are two headlights - one for dipped beam and one for full beam, ie. because of the lenses, you cannot have mixed full and dipped in the same unit.

The running lights (the little peanut bulbs, aka sidelights) are in both headlights, tucked in the corner, and these should be one all the time when your headlights are switched on.
