For a US-spec car, that is proper operation. The ONLY time the halogens light up is in "flash to pass" mode. You will not get them at all when the light switch is in the full clockwise position. In all other positions, the halogens come on for as long as you hold the stalk.
There are a couple mods you can use to get the European mode of operation, where the halogens come on with your high beams. One of these involves simply jumping one of the relays, and personally, I don't recommend that, as it puts all the current for the halogens through the stalk contacts, which were never designed for that. Steve Goldberger has a much better mod that doesn't do that, and is much closer to the real European wiring.
