Do they work ok when the headlights are off? Sounds like either a
knackered switch or something is grounding where it shouldnt when the
lights are on.
You wont be able to momentarily flash the main beams like you can when
the lights are off, they will only toggle on and off, but I dont think
thats what you meant.

I used to have a 309 (and a 205 with almost identical stalks) and I
would second suggest that it's likely to be a knackered switch. You can
open them up once you get them out (remove plastic from underside of
steering column first) and there wil be a surprising amount of crud inside!
