Default write up: hi and low headlights on same time

you can ground the wire running from the bottom of your fuse box to have the fogs stay on with the brights. Do a search, you can find a walkup on that too.

I've since replaced the bulbs with higher wattage ones too.. I never use the brights with other people on the roads. I live out in the country where I dont mind blinding the deer BEFORE they get in my way lol

Thank You for the detailed write-ups.
