Question Switching projector functions?

So I have the 1-piece projectors that no one really likes. Since there is all this talk about how good the Depo projectors are, I was wondering is it possible to switch my low beam from the projector to the open lense?? I think it should be possible! I wasn't sure whether to post this in "Electrical Systems" or here, so I'm doing both.

Any thought and ideas would be appreciated!

Here is a pic of what I have to work with...

Depends how wiring is supposed to be....my depos have the high beam in the projector! Odd.

Anyways mine are wired up as follows:

relays terminals:

30 power
85 ground
87 new lights (dual bulb, had a harness)
86 stock control wire

I had a harness remember, so that may change things. But it should be as easy as switching wires around. All you are doing is changing the pathway of current to turn on a different bulb.

well the high beam bulb burns at a higher wattage. if you simply turn the wiring around, all thats going to happen is burn the highs when the lows are on, and burn the lo's when the hi's are on
