alright, this is what i wanna do. Im not sure its possible, nor can i think of a way this would work, but i figured id run it past some of you more intellectual folk.

My headlights run on 2 different bulbs. One for low, one for high.
What im after is making it so that when my highs are on, both bulbs are lit up like when i hold the switch after shutting off and turning on my high beams.

Possible or not?

RJ is the wire/electric wizard......i'll let him chime in

but I still think you need a solenoid or bypass in order to not short out a bulb... Need some Help... Iono I dunno...just guessing really...i usually ask RJ to wire shit up.

This would mean your high beams and DRLs/low beams would be on all the time...
