Rewiring low beams to stay on when hi's are activated
Is it possible? If so, how?
Thanks.

maybe you can connect the low beams directly to the battery with an inline fuse and just have a separate switch on your dash.

Your lowbeams should automatically stay on when the highbeams are activated. Only lights that turn off when your hi beams are on are the fog lamps.

The lows on the Camry turn off when the high beams are activated. (unless you have aftermarket like myself)
And the lows on my Aunts 'Rolla turn off as well.

I have never seen any car in the US of any make in which the lows stay on when the highs are switched on. Perhaps they exist, but they must be rare.

Yeah, I think we've adequately established USA version has low's that turn off w/ hi beams, while Canadians have lows that stay on w/ hi beams
can we please stay on topic? Looking for help trying to rewire USA version to be like Canadian one.
thanks.

Well when your MFS wiring burns up you'll wish you hadn't done that.

I didn't do it that way, the aftermarket lights are plug and play and it just happened to be that way. When the lows are on, the DRL/highs are off..
