LOL. Just wondering how the Mods let you get away with that user name.
Anyway - we’re talking about a European spec RT. It doesn’t use either a shutter, or a dual filament bulb for the switch between Hi and Lo beams. What we call Fog Lights - which is an accessory and controlled by a dedicated switch - is what they have as Low Beam Headlights. They are controlled by the operation of the Lo Beam relay. Our main headlamps, which are on all the time, are what they have as the Hi beam headlamps. They go on and off with the operation of the Hi Beam Relay.
When we in North America switch between Lo and Hi Beams, the Main Relay changes state. The Hi Beam Relay energizes and opens the shutter. The Lo Beam Relay remains energized because of that jumper, (circled), and thus the main headlamp remains on all the time. We’re talking RT, not F3. In the European version, the jumper is removed. The Lo Beams (fog lights) are on for Lo Beam operation. When Hi Beams are called for, the Main Relay changes state, the Lo Relay drops out, the Hi Relay picks up. The Lo Beam Lamps (fog lights) go off and the upper main headlamps come on.
If we in North America have the fog lights installed, they are operated by an independent switch and are not affected by Hi/Lo beam switching.
What you need to do is reinstall that jumper (circled) - or an electrical equivalent - that we have on the North America version. That will keep your Lo Beam Relay energized all the time, and thus keep your Low Beams on all the time. Completely separate lamps and grounds from your Hi Beam lamps. No problem with any of that at all. The power distribution diagram shows that it is in the Right Side Fuse Box. I’ve never seen it, nor do I know where it might be. But assuming that you must have inspections and such over there, you might want to do the electrical equivalent of that and run it through a switch on the console, so that you can defeat it, and not get a violation.
Or, you could simply get in there and start cutting wires, and wire them up like we have here with their own switch. But again, might open you up to a violation.
BTW - by 2016, the RS and ST Spyders were the same as the RT. So, that French video that you saw, if it was a close year to yours, might work for you. I could not find it. Good Luck.
