HI BEAM - LOW BEAM

Post by BadChad »

Is there anyway to get both high and low beam head lights to light up when you flick on the high beams? (besides holding the switch part way back)

Thanks for the welcome...
From the instructions you listed:

For those with low beam DRL, just splicing and grounding the solid yellow wire to the bolt in the radiator support behind the turn signal assy. will turn on the low beams anytime the highbeams are on.

What is a low beam DRL? DRL being what i'm not sure of.

Thanks

I also wanted to ask when you cut the yellow wire and ground it is there anything else needed to be done with the remaining wire left to the headlight or should I just tap the wire?

I wouldn't :!:

You'll pay more for shipping and handling than what you'll shell out at the local parts store for everything that you need.

Move this where you want, HJ but, after I did my front end measurements last nite (I gassed up) before. I threw a code on the way home.

I figured, I was tired and did not properly screw the gas cap on. I checked it when I got got home. The cap seemed ok. Light was gone when I fired it up the morning but, mentioned it to the dealer when I dropped my CC off this AM. They told me tonite it was a DRL code my DRLs were working fine and that they cleared it. It wasn't there to clear and my DRLs have been off since May.
