anyone here know how to wire up the headlights similar to DRLs? this means that the highbeam bulbs are on ONLY at half wattage and not at full strength. it would blind people if on at 100%(duh!). i prefer a method of not purchasing a DRL kit if possible. i challenge those who are electrically inclinded to do this.

this was made by someone on superhonda but i forgot who
see they use 2 500 ohm resistors to lower the power to the bulbs and the constant is from another source.What makes me laugh about forums, is that no matter how much you try to help someone, they dont take the advice. Go ahead and do it the hard way.
You got to respect what you drive, and appreciate what you have, making the best of what you got. and if that means putting CAI, HID's, a phat stereo system, and a idiot in the drivers seat...then so be it!

i think instead of tapping into the high beams and cutting wires, jdm has 3 spots for light, low...high..and DRL...that way u wont have to tap into the high beam at all and just run a new line for the DRL...
if not then im dumb =)
the original hi and lo beam wires go into the dual filament housing in the jdm headlights.

thats right, they are H4....see i am dumb =)What makes me laugh about forums, is that no matter how much you try to help someone, they dont take the advice. Go ahead and do it the hard way.

i've heard the high beam of the H4 on the one-pieces suck. also you will need to have a relay to turn off the low-beam filament when the high-beam filament turns on. the H4 bulb can't handle both filaments on at the same time for too long. if you notice, H4-factory wired cars (i.e. EK civic) do this when swtiching from low to high. the H1 is better used for the highbeam than the other filament on the H4. and it's already wired that way for our cars.
