Anyone know how to or where to get something to stop the driving lights from turning off when hi-beams are on?[sm=bs.gif]

 

There is a couple of posts on here about it just need to search for it.

 

There is a device out there called the Brite Box. It will allow you to keep you high beams, low beams, and fog lights all on at once.........combine that with some Sylvania Silverstars and you are throwing a lot of light, plus its pretty easy to install.

I don't have the web site handy, so you will have to google it.

 

A jumper wire between the fog relay and theparking lightrelay will do it. That way the parking lights come on, the fog lights come on, regardless of headlight position.

 

Yeah - because the lights are controlled by a computer and not just with some cleverly-wired relays, bypassing that "feature" is a little more work. You can do what Duso02 said and it'll work but you lose your ability to turn off the fogs. I may do that and add a second switch for that purpose.

FWIW, the fogs can be triggered by grounding the right relay pin. It'll work any time, in any headlight position, with or without the ignition on.

 

It depends on what year vehicle. If it is after 2006 than you can take it to a dealer and have them star scan the truck so it is a Export model. This will allow the feature to become active, seeing how most states have a law against more than 4 forward facing driving lamps.

Dont know if that helps.

Ahh, but we have only four anyway. They wasted perfectly good headlamp space with a huge blinker. That could have been separate low/high beams with wonderful illumination.

I may look at swapping that blinker for a a high beam projector. With a quick re-wire, it could be interesting. I know ebay has dual projector setups available but I can't stand the LEDs they stick in there for no reason. I don't really care about the halos but the LEDage is a deal breaker.

 

Ok guys thanks alot. I'll see what I can find and go from there.
