Default 4 Headlight mod
Anyone know what wires to splice to keep the low beams on when you flip the high beams on? I've wired my fog lamps to stay on, and had this done in my Z. TIA.

I wish I could remember how I did it, I read it some where, it was on the back of the headlight switch.

Under the driver's panel, there's an connector in brown color, it has a white/tan and a yellow wire going to it. Connect the white and yellow/tan wire together. Don't cut the wires going to the plug, just fuse them together.

This will enable the low beams to stay on and the high beams to come on when the brights stalk lever is pulled.

Good way to fry a few wires too much amperage. Just get a set of silverstars and be done with it

You can buy relays at partsexpress for $1 (30 amp each). Drive them off a fuse direct from the battery and run whatever the hell wattage you want. Put some 85watt'ers in there and melt dat plastic

just keep going fast enough to cool down the lenses lol.

partsexpress.com rules for relays for this and that.

FYI - it is illegal in most states to have that many lights on. That is why they turn off when you turn your H-beams on.
