Aftermarket headlight mod

- Tue May 01, 2012 2:38 pm #303474 Hey guys I've got aftermarket headlight with separate high and low beam bulbs..when the highs go on the lows go off and vice versa..I wanna put hid's in my low beams but before I do I'd like to know if there's anyway to mod the lights so that the low beams stay on when the highs are engaged...I've also noticed that if I pull the light switch stalk half way that all lights would stay on

Also think about the amps that all your lights are going to be pulling. As fickle as the headlight wiring is on our car, I wouldn't want to run all the lights at once.
