Make both Hi and Lo beams stay on?

Make both Hi and Lo beams stay on?

Is there anyway to wire up your headlights so when you flick on the hi beams, the lows stay on also? Im sure some things will have to be re-wired but what would? Anyone ever do this?

on a 8th gen?

sure there is, get a 7th gen heh

but on a serious note, im not sure, try googling a 7th gen diagram and wire urs like that, but yea, what gen u got? 98-00 im not sure if u could do it, and 01-02 im pretty sure u prolly could

Why not just get some fog lights?

yes, on an 8th gen. I did a 98 to an 02 conversion. I got the fogs to come on when the parking lamps come on. I got HIDs in the main lights, however wondering if there is a way to keep them on when i flick on the highs.

Maybe thats why. Im pretty sure my lows stay on when I flick the highs but I could be wrong. I got silverstars low and high so I cant really tell if I my lows are still on.

yes.. but then you would be overheating the bulb dramatically lessening its life. You have H4 which has two filiments in one bulb so the low have to turn off in order for high to be on. Other cars like the 93-97 and 03+ has a seperate bulb for low and high beam so both can stay on. When I converted to my H4 JDM headlight (real JDM not made in taiwan crap) I had to use a relay setup so the low will turn off when I use high beams.

But if you still want to do it, I'll draw you up a schematic.. you might not want to use expensive bulbs if you do.

I guess you didnt read the part where I said i did a 98 to an 02 front end conversion. Now i have 9006 and 9005 bulbs, not H4.

I have a relay hooked up to my parking lamps so when they come on, it draws power from my battery to my fogs. This way I dont overload the wire.

I was hopeing i could advoid doing somthing like this in wiring up the hi's and lo's. HIDs are kinda picky when you flick them off and back on really fast.

Hi-beams on with the Lo-beams?

I dont know what happened to my other thread, I searched and searched and I dunno where it went. If there was a problem, please a mod PM me.

Anyway. I did a 98 to an 02 front end conversion on my car. Im currious as to how I can have my Hi and Lo beams on at the same time. I will be installing HIDs in the 9006 socket and later down the road install them in the 9005 socket also (I do ALOT of night driving).

I found the relay that controls which lamp is on. Its on the driver side fender in the engine bay. Its in the small relay box and its Labeled: Dimmer. Well, I pulled it and its got 4 prongs. I took my multimeter and did some poking around and I know its possible to 'jump' some wires to make it happen, but I have no idea which ones.

Could someone help me out with this and maybe help me write a DIY?

Thanks!

The thread is still there. If you read sticky you would know. Go here.

ha, thanks. I thought someone had deleted the original thread. I searched and couldnt find it. So back to the topic at hand. How can it be done?

Yeah....Im almost tempted to just start jumping wires...but im hoping someone will chime in with an answer first before I start blowing fuses

I think I got the solution. I was doing some testing today since noone seemend interested. If you unmount the smaller relay box on the fender, flip it over and take off the cover, you have access to all the wires and such. If you look at the DIMMER relay module and the wires attached to it, youll see a pair of BLACK wires attached to 1 terminal and a pair of RED wires attached to the opposite corner terminal.

You want to JUMP those 2 terminals so they are always connected. HOWEVER!!! Im gunna wire in a relay. Im gunna make it so when the RED wires are getting power, the relay will click on and draw power directly from my battery. This way, it wont burn any wires and put any extra stress on my electrical system.

If anyone wants to try it out before I do this myself and make a DIY, please let me know how it goes.

Hey I'd like a schematic of the relay you made for your JDM (Authentic Koito, not Taiwan crap) headlights. I've had mine wired up for a while using the diagrams posted on the site before, but I feel like they can get a little brighter.

Did you wire yours up the same way as here? http://www.cardomain.com/ride/269600/2
