[QUOTE="Huachipato, post: 14831152, member: 22395"] In reference to the high beam switch. I'm going to show you two solutions below. The first one - I thought I was genius. It was less than $1 solution with a single diode. I created one set before I found a different solution. l still have this and use it when I switch out to my stock headlights. If you look at the image below - and follow the red cable that is furthest to the left. That is the low beam light. It goes to the top diode - which is then connected to the high beam cable. If you look on the other side of the diode - that is where the pigtail is for the high beam switch and high beam cable is located. It works because the Diode will block the current from the low beam light and will allow the power to pass through from the high beam. The high beam cutoff is on the high beam side of the diode - so it will only activate with the high beam light. [ATTACH=full]1425938[/ATTACH] So - I created that - and then I found this: [url]http://www.vleds.com/9004-9007-bi-xenon-in-line-high-low-switching-module.html[/url] It does the same thing but all packaged up a whole lot nicer and with relays instead of a diode. The circuit is a little more complex but the power loss through the relays is less than through a diode (I think my diode used half a volt). EDIT: Black - just realized you were talking about the 9007 bulbs high beam in the reflective bowl being a gimmick. What Viper is doing is projector though - with an actual high beam cut off fence that can be triggered to move and give a very real high beam output. I agree with you though - I could never get the 9007 HID bulbs to give me a decent high beam worth a crap either. [/QUOTE]
