FS: Headlight Relays (Keep low beams on with highs)

[blackbonnie 5,000+ posts]

no offense, but this is easier and cheaper to do with about 3$ and your light harness underneath the dash...

here is an example on a silverado

works amazing. but your way will also work great. just might be more cost effective if you helped people out this way...never know

hmmm... tempted for my blazer... hate flicking my HIDs on and off....

That was the primary reason I made one of these for myself. Its really nice when you switch back to low beam and you don't have to wait for the bulb to warm up.

Isnt having both high and low beam on to much for the bulb?

my brother blew his lights one time doing something similar. Just a thought.

Good Find!

The one main advantage my setup has over that is mine has a separate power source, so you're not pulling more current through your stock wiring. I doubt its a problem on the GM's, but in some vehicles (like mine) the stock wiring is very small and can be prone to burn out.

Also, my setup works on any vehicle. The body control module (BCM) will vary from vehicle to vehicle. My method takes the work out of figuring out what wire goes where etc. Granted, if you get a pinout for your specific vehicle the method you mentioned would work.

I don't know about his specific vehicle, but my setups have been used on many dual-beam bulb setups before without any problems.

I retract my previous statement. I got confused with which lights we were talking about. Sounds like a cool mod

if im not mistaken these dont work on dual filimint bulbs like the 9007? but if you have 9005 or 9006 lights on two sets of bulbs for each headlight i think it works pretty good, i bought a relay and wired one myself, PAIN IN THE REAR, i would gladly pay 20 for this, and its not like that one that goes under your dash, the relay doesnt draw power from your low beams to your highs, i dont think? anyway, nice product

These DO work on dual filament bulbs. In fact I prototyped this setup on a dual filament H4 Thanks for the props btw.

I have 3 in stock currently, if anyone is interested please PM me.

Thanks TonyC, no need to flame blackbonnie though, he's a good guy
