I am sure this kind of question has already been posted and answered somewhere in this forum.

I want to hook up my headlights so that when I turn on the high beams the low beams are also on. I have a 1993 Plymouth Sundance. Since the low and high beams run on seperate bulbs, isn't there an easy way to accomplish this.

>>> i wonder if this can be done if the high and low filaments are from the single H4 type bulbs. Would it be too hot for the bulb to handle?

cheers

That's the reason the OEM makes the low beams shut off when you hit the highs- so the bulbs won't explode.
