High and low beams at same time

I was wondering if anyone has been able to get there high and low beams on at the same time. If so was there any drawbacks? I currently have my lights running off of relays connected to the battery. I got a kit off of Ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1871946762 from overseas. It works great getting alot more light to the road. I was thinking seeing how they use relays I could use that High-4 kit for chevys. If i connect it to the right wires it has a relay and a diode (to prevent feedback when engaged) that it might turn on both lights. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Robert

the only thing i have seen, not with both high and low. but with higher watt bulbs. is that they melted the head light lens. bulb gets hot and when it starts to melt, it just gets worse until bulb burns out or just thought bottom of the lens. but with running both high and low i think it might put alot of heat also. may add a sw and only use at highway speeds to cool lens. not really sure. but like i said i have seen alot of the blue bulbs with high watt melt lens. maybe it was due to the monkey that put them in. maybe wrong or not in all of the way. but when it melts you cant tell one way or the other. keep an eye on them. good luck
