I have an 02 dakota and I want all my lights to stay on when I put on my highbeams, I need fogs and lows to stay on with them. Any suggestions? I fugured out how to make the fogs stay on with the highs, it was fairly simple I just had to change my regional code in the computer to europe. I just need to tackle the low beam option now....

 

Your best way probably will be to hook it up to the switch. You may get better responses if you post this in the 2nd Generation Dakota Sub-forum. I will move it there for you.

 

Our trucks have both beams in the same bulb. Low's can't stay on with high's without blowing something in magnificent form. I would duggest switching to the new silverstar ultra's or w/e they are that have the super bright, wide beam. If them make them for our trucks.

 

^ They make them. It's just a 9007 bulb. The Ultra's are a great bulb without going to HID's. But HID's are an option as well. I have them in the stock housings, and they work quite well. May be something you'd like to consider.

 

Damn, the 9007 is only 10 bucks a bulb? (hmmm...trip to oreilly's may be in order)

 

Have you noticed that when you hold your highbeam switch halfway both highs and lows will illuminate together? I have held them both on for quite some time and no malfunctions. So there has to be a way.... I had thought about the switch method but as mentioned they are in the same light so that wouldnt work... or would it?...

 

Basically, it would work, it would take some wiring work, but having the high/low beam on at the same time will create a lot of heat, and can melt wiring, or the headlight housing. Prolonged use will burn the bulb out much quicker than it would normally. Also it can run at a higher amperage rating than it should, and can burn out fuses.

Overall, yes the light output is better, however, you will be replacing bulbs, or fuses, or wiring, or all 3.

 

which lights are you using currently......HID or LED......
