switch for high lights

[drzcb7]

ok so ive been thinking of putting a separate switch for the high beams so i can just turn those on alone instead of both high/low beam being on @ the same time, i serached for a DIY but didnt see nothing. is there one? or can someone maybe help me out to wat i need to do/ wats needed.

whatever you do, leave the stock wiring alone. run a new wire, relay, and switch.

that way if you ever sell the car or get sick of the toggle you can just plug it back in.

so pretty much get a foglight harness?

& you think i can use like the hazzard lights switch or cuirse control switch? cause i have some extra switches might as well make them useful & it fit in those empty spaces perfectly

anyone??

Why do it? Do you want DRLs? Cause having just highbeams on is kinda bright, even in the day.

If you just want the high on a bit aka DRL. u will need either the complete headlight harness from a canadian CB or just run an ignition hot wire to the highbeam wire with a relay through a resistor of your choice. (resistor cuts voltage down to around 4-8 volts therefore giving the dim highbeam).

Also you will need to tap the lowbeam into the relay so the high knows to turn off when you activate the lows.

If your not too electrical inclined then your better off just gettin a DRL conversion from auto parts supplier. I can grab them from Canadian Tire here. cost about $50.

well i wont be running them 24/7; i'll just rock them once ina blue.

its cause i have yellow high's & yellow fogs, but i have purple lows so if i just wanna roll wit yellow i cnt cause the lows have to be on

thts why i was thinking doing tht wit a switch for tht reason.

So you're going to be driving around back roads with just you high beams on? Or do you plan on driving around where other people on with your colored high beams blinding them?


And yes, a fog switch should work fine.

wtf???

the lows and highs run together to give you BETTER VISIBILITY. you'd be amazed and how much better those highs PLUS the lows light up the road than highs alone. My wifes nissan, and her dads ford ranger light up only highs or only lows...you can't tell a damn difference between the two aside from that stupid bright blue indicator...which on a dark night with the interior lights down REALLY blinds me sometimes...geez.

wait what??? OH YEAH...advice for you then...

Also the high beams are the inner most lights...make you look cross eyed...like saturns...retarded ass cars

I do not see how this would look cool, you would not be as bright, visibility would be cut down...unless you plan on switching back and forth from low to high (with only one on at a time) to try and look like a cop or something.

But yeah...don't fuck with the wiring...and DO USE A RELAY!!! means you'll need a 12volt signal to operate the relay's magnetic innerds, and a lower gauge power wire to feed the powa to the lights.

You could prolly use a blank...not sure how this would be done with the switch being easy/safe to use while driving.

dont do it.
