Is there a way to have the hi/low beams activated at the same time? That combo really lights up the night. Thanks.

ya know how if you pull the left side lever back they all light up, just hold it

 

That's how I know together they really light up the night.

 

 

Using a regular fog light relay, wire a switch from the battery to the signal terminal of the relay (#86). Then connect the power from the battery (fused of course) to the power terminal of the relay (#30) connect the hi beam wire to terminal #87. Ground relay terminal #85.

The switch to trigger could be your low beam power, but you would not have the option of not running both in low beam mode. Or you could wire the extra switch to the low beam power, and you would have the option. Additionally, the lights would not be left on by mistake.

 

I can see how the Chev guys do it, but with both filaments in the same bulb, wouldn't that cause excessive heat?... leading to premature bulb failure and possible wire harness issues?

 

Good Call.
I now recall hearing that doing this can actually melt the headlight housing :o

 

the good news is, there are aftermarket light housings that have 2 bulbs (separate hi and low) and the look pretty nice too!

Worth looking into.

 

Online store has a setup called the BRITE Box that lets you have high and low lights on at the same time,cost is $99.With it you don't burn up the wireing running both lights at the same time.Been thinking about getting me one and it's plug and drive so you don't have to cut any wires to install it.Read about and see that you think.
