Does it have to be a diode or can you just jump the circuit? There was a mod similar for Trans Am's so I can run my high's with my fogs.

how about this guys, I still need to level mine so I can take some measurements where my highs and lows point on my garage door BEFORE I level. I will measure distance from door and height of each beam (will try for dead center). Then we will all have a good idea of where they were aimed before leveling. Hows that sound?

someone posted how to do it with a diode between 2 relays and i lost it.

im an elex man but so far,,too lazy to figger it out!

if he dont show up soon,,ill dig into the book. it just really takes some diggin and i hate reinventing the wheel.

btw those bl,wht were 3700 k i think.
i would not bother with the hi bright. it might be that my eyes like the yellow more than the white?? im 68

i know nothing of the hid however. thats for u or someone..

expensive for what u get ,,i think,,also messy to do

oh,,yes i use hi beams! and i jabber,,,,
your jabber always lightens my mood a bit dr tom :cheers

lol. Lay on your back on the drivers side, with your feeting facing the pass side. Right underneath the drivers side door, there is a cross member that runs across the frame. There is a bolt in the center of that cross member. Thats the one you crank.

yep you are correct. It's a BIG *** bolt; I needed to buy a socket just for it lol. The are the only two bolts that really pop out at you (even though they are recessed)
