Hi!
i was just wondering...
is there any way to make the low beams stay on when using the high beams?
i've read on different webpages that this is possible by doing something with the relays.
The reason I ask is because i don't like the fact that when i have the low beams on, the fog lights can be turned on as well; but once you switch to high beams, the fog lights turn off. and besides, having the low beams on when you are using the high beams increases visibility even if you are not using the fog lights
it's nothing necessary or something that REALLY bothers me, just want to know if it's possible and see if it is something i could do to my car
Thanks in advance!!!

the fact that it increases visibility is an illusion. Low only let's you see what is close, high let's you see distance. If you have the low on while high you are more likely to be distracted by what is close that having the highs on wouldn't matter. The high is ideal for when nobody is on the road so you can cobcentrate on what is normally out of your visible range. Not to mention keeping both on will kill the life of your bulbs in no time. The foglights trick can be found at club3g.com
If you are really diehard about being able to see, see your optometrist first, then invest in an h.I.d. Kit. It is twice as bright as you original headlights

He's right about frying the bulbs.
The only reason to do this is if you have aftermarket housings that have dual bulbs.
Run HID's in the lows. (The projector housing)
Install the relay so that when you switch to highs the HID's stay on.
And do the fog light thing.
Had this on my eclipse for about 2 months before it was totaled.
Only ever ran all 3 things at once on pitch black rads with no people.

I did answer your question. You didn't read the answer. Not only did I tell you why you shouldn't do it with the oe housings, but I also referred you to a place that has many more answers than we can give you.
I have absolutely no problems seeing at night and I'm 20 minutes from the nearest town (ie pitch black), and I have good eyesight, so my rationale on you not seeing the greatest at least in low lighting conditions was a fair judgement.
I also referred you to getting hid light kit like the 3g guy on top of this post. Honestly if you need much more light than that you have no business driving at night or at the speeds that you do. it was a joke anyway, and the fact that you are sensitive about it might mean you have more of a problem than you let on.
Now seeing as how you lack reading comprehension I'd recommend getting that checked as well. You are wrong about me judging people. This is America. We can do anything we want
