High beam + Low beam mod?
I swear I've seen a DIY on it but I can't find it... How do I wire up the high beams so that the low beams stay on when the highbeams are turned on? Thanks.

well im not sure bout haveing both high/low on same time thinking its going to be some kind of mod you have to do but you can always get a bi-xeon bulb.
|
the stock setup uses one bulb to do both the high and low beams....it's not possible to run both at once.

The bulb filaments share a common ground. Your light switch and low/high trigger control a 12V constant to one of the filaments at a time. There are a couple of different ways that you could do it using relays. The set up would probably have to be a bit elaborate to completely prevent overtaxing/melting the factory wiring. You also may face excess heat issues by running both filaments simultaneously, though you probably won't be using the high beams all that often. I guess I could think it through for you and tell you what to do if you really wanted. |

It's a dual filament bulb, man. It can be done.

I have RE HID sleek light kit... I should have mentioned that in the first place. Now, does anyone know how to wire this up? I'm really a noob at electrics so I need to know which wire goes to which...

Has anyone got a solution figured out for this, I know the thread is old, but i am trying to figure this out!!!
|
Just give you guys a heads up, I was able to make it work, with my HID kit, you simply connect the Headlight Relay driven signal White/Green wire with Low beam output Red/Yellow at the connector under the dash (center of steering wheel) Its a blue X-04 Connector...
I am using a dedicated FOG and 35watt HID kit so I dont have a problem with overloading the wire or blowing the fuse!!! |
the pictures are down... but I remember finding this winter last year it explains what needs to be done...
basicly.. just have a wire connect the two main wires... https://www.rx7club.com/showpost.php...&postcount=195 J. |
