this is gonna be a simple headlight trick.
you know at times you need more light when going down the road & you
hold the highbeam headlight to have the low beam on at the same time.
you dont have to do that anymore.

| I word of caution. If your headlight use a all in one bulb where both elements are in one bulb, running both of them at once could result in short bulb life and possible light assembly damage if it is a plastic housing since less than 10% of energy is converted to light in a halogen bulb and the other 90% plus is converted to heat. BTW my old 89 burb has a 4 headlight system with old style sealed halgen lights and it has always has truely awesome high beams that you have to see to believe and all from just too bulbs. (as much light as there is you would swear it is from 4 lights though and they are orginal factory equipment too and still work after 17 years and 180 K miles!) |

| You might consider a aftermarket higher wattage bulb as a compromise. It would make more heat but less than two elements at once. |

You have to pay attension to the wattage of them. I would not exceed 80 watts and there are some 100 watt ones that I would avoid. |
