    A slew of pricey stuff my wife hates me for.

    You (or the Stealership) can do it digitally (benefit is it is non-destructive).

    Didn't mean to post that last comment, I meant to say does anyone here have a link to a decent write up on how to make the low beams stay on with high beams? Thanks in advance

    Nice write up and great mod. There has been times I wish it didnt dim with headlights on. Like during the day but raining, and still bright enough to make that hard to see while dimmed. +1 to you. I might just have to do this one.

    Seeing the third gen section forced me to get a Ford...
    plug it in the ODB port under the driver's side kick panel. mount wherever you want and hide cable.

    EDIT: dammit...beat

    Thanks, I figured it out. Mounted above mirror. Just wanted to double check to see if there was any known issues.

    I don't think that is possible since the high and low beams both run off the same bulb

    Yeah, I believe there is a way to wire it to work also, IIRC. And I've read the few people who've done it, have not had any issues with heat or bulb life. :cool:

    I know its been a few months since you posted this but can you provide the details? I'm not really bothered by the light being on all the time but if there is an easy solution I'd like to hear it.
