Highbeam + Lowbeam at the same time instructions
I'm not sure why cars have you running, either high or low beams, but I'd like to have it to where I can run them both at the same time. Much like when you pull back on the light stick. I drive in complete darkness to visit my girlfriends in the back woods of Indiana. I just ordered HID kits for the high and low beams, but being HID they take a bit to charge up. Having the lows stay on the whole time, would keep me from having about a 20 second period of well..not so good lighting when I switch to the highbeams :P
I searched the forums, and there is a link to this fix, but the link is broken. IF anyone knows how to do this, or has a fresh link it would be greatly appreciated.

thanks blownblue, but I think that's something I'd only be able to understand what to do after finding a electricly savy friend to help. I'd be able to figure it out over time, but didn't know if you guys might know of where to go to see a "how 2" with some pics 
if not, then I guess I'll have to make one for the site incase anyone else wants to do it.

No sense in trying to re-invent the wheel. I have one myself just haven't got around to installing it yet.

well i got my hid's installed and the relay is def something i'm going to have to install. with the highbeams on there is a HUGE black void in the middle where the lows would fill in nicely. for some reason the highs won't come on anymore with the lows when i pull back on the light stick. not sure wtf that's about. but i'm going to purchase the relay right now after this post, and put it on next week. i'll post some pics. maybe a video
