Default headlight mod on ta

I'm new here so bear with me. does anyone know where to find the instructions for the headlight mod? I want the fogs to stay on with the high beams. Would be cool too if the lows stayed on with the high beams. Should be bright enough then. I'm thinking about the conversion kit from eurolights also. Anyone had experience with this conversion?

I think I may do that just for the look as well. My foglights are already so bright that I drive with only them on at night a lot of the time.

Go double check your lights otherwise my T/A and my bother-in-laws T/A are factory freaks. Because when we turn on the highs the only ones that turn off are the fogs.

Sorry about all the BS. I should have known the lows stay on when the highs come on. I'll make sure to do better research before opening my mouth next time. Like looking at my car!!!!!!!!!!!

LT1s had 2 headlights not 4 like the LS1 cars. I think the high beam filiment is directed at a different angle to project light farther and the low beam shuts off on a high/low single light.

Except for my Trans Am, nearly all of my other GM vehicles with 4 headlight systems shut off the low beam lights (and the fog lights) when I switch to high beams, but "flash to pass" lets all 4 - low beam AND high beam - turn on.
