ssfromsd Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 well i did the diode hi low beam trick where i can get both on at one time but when i want to switch back just to low not to blind someone it has like a 5-30 second delay. It is never constant and never turns back to low beam instantly... Any way to fix this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterp Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Here is a pic of my fusebox underhood; I have jammed 2 diodes in there, one from the high-beam relay to the DRL relay, and another from the high-beam relay to the low-beam relay. Diodes are one-way devices, notice the direction of the black band (oriented towards the high-beam relay). Mr. P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterp Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 (edited) Yeah I turn on the DRL's too. Because the DRLs are not directional like the headlights it makes a hell of an impression when you flash those stubborn left-lane squatters. Another hint I got from a girl friend of mine several weeks ago, she installed red and blue neons under her car (she likes that kind of thing ) and discovered that a lot of the time folks would suddenly yield for her on the highway!
