highbeam switch

[lowcb7]

i checked the search and didn't really come up with anything relevant maybe i was just typing the wrong thing....Is there a way to wore the High beams only to a toggle switch. so i can have high beams on without the lows. purely aesthetic purpose. i want to keep the original function of highs and lows but be able to turn on the highs with a flip of a switch. thanks

uhhhh wtf. This makes no sense at all.

Daytime Running Lights maybe?

[lowcb7]

Yes lol basically daytime highbeams. Lol

I dont understand why you want full intensity high beams for looks.

This whole idea boggles my mind.

Yellow highs. Everyone has there own personal style and preferences

I repeat as a previous poster. WHY do you want full intensity high beams as your DRL's??? Factory DRL's usually run at 30% power or so. Full power hig beam DRL's is just plain dangerous......

if high beams blind you during the day, then you're more blind than I am. Dangerous? I doubt it. Pointless, by all means, sure.

The sole purpose is still for looking cool, which is always insane as to how it trumps functionality.

OP, just get a Q-beam spotlight and keep it in the passenger seat. When you pass people on the road just reach over to grab it, aim it at them and pull the trigger. That should do the trick.

Personal style? Please.

if you want just your high beams on during the day then just turn on your headlights and turn on the high beams! the low beam shuts off when the high beams are on....

nuuh! lows stay on with highs! Remember when we did your installation? the highs were on with the HIDs which were in the low beam?

My lows are on when the highs are on. I just checked due to factory harness!

Drivers like you seriously piss me off. I'll be the one blasting my horn as you blind me.

To the OP: Have you considered retrofitting a CDM daytime running light (DRL) relay? This way, you won't be blinding anyone.
*Edit: Never mind - already covered by Mike.

Me personally has a hard time driving during the day time because just the sun glinting of someones wind sheild literally hurts my eyes... So IMHO, full intensity high beams during the daytime is dangerous and benine.

I personally, if going this route, would build a small harness that provided 30-40% power to headlights when the car was in the ON position but still retain functionality of the high beam. Easiest way to do this would be a relay off a keyed ON wire, then a resister to limit current/voltage to the high beam along with a diode to prevent the full 12v from the factory harness back feeding into the relay. Simple and done.
