Headlight mod Anyone know what happened to the write up about making the low beems stay on when you click the hi's? It's been about 4 years since I've done it...
The changes you will have to make will be at the high beam switch. You would have to connect the low beam feed wire to the wire feeding power into the high beam switch. This would permanantly supply power to the low beams with the headlights on and use the high beam switch only as a switch to turn on the high beams. I hope you don't have to pass a yearly inspection though, as it would never pass in any state.

Two different and separate modifications - leaving lowbeams on with highbeams and leaving fog lights on with highbeams. Your fog lights will turn off when you turn on the highbeams even after you do the mod to leave the lowbeams on. That's because the fog light relay grounds through the highbeam circuit - when the highbeams are on there is power instead of ground on the ground side of the fog light relay so the fog lights turn off.
