How to run both headlights and brights?
How to run both headlights and brights?
Does anyone know how I could have both my headlights and my brights running at the same time? I have seen it before on Tonys 94 LT1 in the GM Hight Tech magazine and since then I have to do it to my 94 LT1. Thanx for any helpful info!
Re: How to run both headlights and brights?
My 94 Z28 when i turn on the brights (pulling the wiper/cruise control level/switch towards you) the headlights and brights both stay on, however, if you have fog lights, those will shut off, i took out the stock foglights and put on four smaller circular fog lights (i plan on doing a circular PIAA-lookalike headlight mod) and i wired it to a seperate switch, instead of wiring to the stock fog light wires, so i can have my fogs, low beams and high beams all on at the same time...which isn't really necessary, but that's the way i have it.

As far as the fog lights go, it doesn't require much, just tapping into a couple of wires underneath the underhood fuse box, and changing the current. There were a couple of guides, but they are no longer up.
If you can't find anything on search, I will try and take a look at mine and see what I did - I never changed it back even after I put in the 1LE fog light deletes.

would this work, putting low beam headlights where my high beams are? That way I would have them both on with out blinding on coming traffic!

The problem though is that it isn't gonna help with blinding the oncoming traffic much.
The thing is - the low beam (9006 bulb) has a coated tip. This allows it to have more of a concentrated beam. The high beam (9005) bulb, has an unpainted tip, giving it a much more scattered beam - that's why its not really any use putting a high beam in the spot of the low beam to make your headlights brighter.
So you are still gonna blind drivers as long as you have 4 headlights on (which is always the case when you have your "brights" on).

First I told him how to do that, then I explained the problems with it.

I believe that this is where the diagram is at to make all 6 work at the same time.
