I just installed my TYC projectors, and I noticed something strange.... when I turn my high beams on the low beams turn off... now I figure this is because H4 bulbs used another filament for the high beam... and now I have H1 bulbs with the TYC's. Does anyone know a way I can rewire the new harness they sent me with these projectors to make it so the high and low beams are both on when I switch to highs?


This is kind of important because I am installing HIDs in the Low beam in about 2 days, and it isnt good to turn HID's on and off a lot... so i want them to stay on all the time.

Real HIDs are very bright...... I would think that you wouldn't really need the high beams anymore.

Are you trying to blind people, try doing it the right way and getting real HID's lol I love when people flash their highs at my cuz they think that I have mine on then I turn my highs on then they start honking at me lol. [IMG]i/expressions/demon.gif[/IMG]

You low beams turn off when you turn on the highs and vise versa.

The stock headlights are like that too, the low beam and high beam filiments are *never* on at the same time, mostly because it would quickly overheat the bulb, and its not neccesarry. The high beam is far more powerful that the low, so having it on would be useless.

Firstly, using HIDs with the TYC projectors is not a good idea, simply because they are not designed for the very different beam pattern of the D2S (and similar) bulbs that HID kits usually use. This means your light pattern with HID will probably be way off and could be blinding to other people on the road. Secondly, as far as I know, cars that have HID lowbeams equipped from the factory, turn the lowbeams off when the high beams are on, and I dont this is terribly bad for the HIDs, but Im not sure about that.
