My final dimmer switch question :)

On my '50 dimmer switch there are three terminals. The center one is "Bat", the others are labeled "1" and "2". Which one is high beam and which is low?

Yeah, it doesn't really matter as long as you run the high beam indicator light to the same terminal as the high beam light. I personally go with low going to #1 and high going to #2.
