Yes, I did the jumper for the fogs on with High beams. do not like that the fogs stay on all the time. even when you only have your parking lights on. so yesturday i pulled the jumper out.... maybe someone out there will beable to figure it out to have them stay on but still be switchable......

The "single bulb" setup sucks for headlights, especially considering how much reflector space they wasted on parking/blinker bulbs. The only real way to fix this would be to get the ebay projector assemblies and do a bit of rewiring so you get all 4 lights at high beam. Do that while keeping the fogs on and you'll have truly usable lighting.

I have installed the BriteBox. It let's me have fogs, lows and highs on at the same time. I have also replaces the 9006 bulbs in the fogs with 9005 bulbs which put out more lights. I'm very happy withthe kit - easy install, no cutting wires and no hassles with HID systems. Great light that doesn't pull more amperage then theOEM wiring was designed to run.

I bought the Stage 3 Plus kit.

When you switch to high beam, it's because you want as much light as you can get in front of you. Why have bulbs present that aren't illuminated? For over 15 years my cars have had 2 lights on low, 4 on high, and fogs that were on any time they were switched to the ON position. When I choose high, I want daylight [8D]

I don't want my stock high and low filiments to be on at the same time. It's too much heat that'll lead to a short bulb life. Dodge should have given us two bulbs per headlight like most every other vehicle has had in the past 20 years.

I found a kit on another website that deals a lot with aftermarket parts for diesels especially. I have ordered some stuff from them and they do real good with their business.

It is genosgarage.com, they got everything from running both high/low beams to even heated windshield wiper fluid. Might help you out or figure out a way to spend a little more money on your truck. (which isn't that hard sometimes)

Just checked that site cause it has been a while and they carry the brite boxes but it will at least give you another place to check out. By the way, is it really worth doing or just going with a big set of driving lights behind the grill. Seen a couple of Dodges done like that and it really is pretty mean looking when they are lite up.
