Re: Any way to get both high and low beams?

Thanks for the idea, I'll take a look!

Makes me wonder...if I ran a short jumper from the high-beam relay "trigger" wire to the low-beam relay "trigger wire, then I'd have both high- and low-beams whenever either was switched on.

But if I added a diode so that current only flowed from the high-beam side to the low-beam side (and not the other way), then the high-beams would trigger the lows as well, but the lows wouldn't trigger the highs...

Hmm...think I'll take a look at the relay box, I'll bet I could tap into the relay plug direct, and get this done with 4 inches of wire and a $2 RadioShack diode.

Thanks again for the idea!

AT YOUR OWN RISK...

You would have to put a switch in the control circuit... You would have high beams and Low during both LOW or HIGH settings when the lights are on and switch is on if this works.

The Low Beam High beam relays are controlled by the High Beam switch..
THere is a Pink/WHite and a Black/WHite wires there.. If you put a switch to short them when desired, both should light when lights are on and your dash will show high beam when your car is in LOW beam. ..

(on the 2000') Those wires are control lines that go to the Light relays on the right side relay bank under the hood.
Check for colors to be the same there and see if it works.
They don't carry a heavy load mostly relay current.


Good Luck
