    Default Anyone tried this headlight switch mod?

    Sorry in French but he links the switch to keep on bottom lights when full beam is switched on - cool https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufZ8x_9e6Ss

    You can solder a wire to the headlamp relay to bypass the low beam relay contact. When the low beam contact opens the bypass wire keeps the low beams on. I believe the USA folks don't use the same front lighting as us European folks though.
    Rule#2: Never argue with an idiot. He'll drag you down to his level & then beat you with experience.
    Rule#1: Refer to rule #2.

    Theres a far easier way to do it that doesnt change the switch.

    Get two of these

    Add one to the low beam loom and one to the high beam loom, then pickup from the high to open the relay and run power from the battery to the low beams. Doing this means when you go to sell it takes half an hour to return it all back to stock and no wires are cut or tapped on the OEM loom.
