i have the projectors with an 8k hid kit and when you turn the high beams on, the low beams turn off unless you flash your high beams which is pull the left stick thingy towards you.. i dont know what that things called lol.. but is there any way to mod it so when you have your hi beams on, your low beams stay on also?

Edit:
probably wouldnt be a good idea, unless you ran new power wires.

The high beam and low beam runn off a common ground, the ground isnt meant to handle the load of both being run simultaneously.

LOL thats funny.. your not supposed to use your highbeams when there is oncoming traffic. i know lol. like i said, i basically have to drive through winding country roads with deer and crap with no lights whatsoever and i could use the extra light.. u know what i mean?

Soo, you only have the one pair of HID bulbs?

In that case you don't even have hi-beams

honestly, if you're in the dark that much, invest in a set of driving lamps.

i have set on my BMW and it's a large difference
