Projector headlights question.. pls help!

okay i got projectors...
well the low beam is not to bright even with an aftermarket bulbs b/c the greyish semi circle thing.. now i turn on the high beams.. the low beams turn off...
what i want to kno is that can i ever make the high and low run at the same time... like doing a rewiring. connecting the high beam to run with low beam!?

seems easy to do.. juss connect the red wire (high beam wire) to the blue wire (low beam)... but will this work, or is will it juss burn a fuse and pop my bulbs?


anyone!?
suggestion....
can't afford HID so i need another way to project brighter light with my projectors LOL

in my opinion i think it would either blow a fuse or you could just be running to much power to the wires and burn the harness out
which isn't good.
but i'm not to sure you might wanna check with your local mechanic first

Sorry I cant really help you on any wiring suggestions, but if you havent done so already, get yourself a good set of H1 Super White bulbs. I find it helps a little. I love the projector headlights but its true that the amount of light it puts out is disappointing.

if you connect the high beam power wire to the low beam power wire, when the lowbeams running you will also be powering the high beams=no work. On my friends lude to run the day time driving lights I would have had to run another module that turns on with the car, kinda like a wire used to turn the amps on a stereo on but this is run from the light switch.

Well I done this before, but the light will be very dim due to its using so much power when both lights is on, oh yea under your hood there will be right headlight fuse, and left headlight fuse take either one of and there you go you have all ur lights on. but beside that you will have to route another wire to one of the lights.

Here's what you can do... connect the positive end of the low beam wire directly to the battery. Put a switch inbetween the wire (from the light bulb to the battery) and you'll have full control of the low beam... you can turn it on and off whenever you want to.

this idea seems easy... but i want bought high and low to run at the same time... so can i hook the high with a switch directly to the battery.. so when i have my regular lights on, i can simply flick the switch and have the high beams on with the regular lights....?
