Running both bright/dim elements at once works great!
Some of you expressed a keen interest in my experiment to operate both the bright and dim elements at once when my brights are turned on. It puts about twice the light on the road.
I told you I would keep you abreast of my experiment. So far, it is working just fine, even with 100/80 watt Hella (Germany) Clear Bulbs. They are 35/25% brigher than OEM bulbs.
One dim element did quit a while back and I replaced the bulb with a new one. It's been about two weeks since then and the other bulb has about 45 days on it now. So, that could have been just a fluke. I enjoy the extra light so much that I want to continue the test even if I did burn out one element.
You can test this yourself by simply pulling back on your bright/dim switch. Hold back on it for a while to see how much brighter the road is right in front of your truck. It's impressive.
As time goes forward, I'll try to keep you informed.
