HOW TO: Making the low beams stay on with the high beams - '99-'02 GM trucks

[Cowboy Cadillac]

I have this mod...Its nice to have up here where its dark 14hr out of the day...oh and the a$$holes with their hibeams on get a rude awakening too.

Oh and All the 99-02 GMT 800s are like this Scottyboy has same mod (done in a different spot though)

 

[ScottyBoy]

Must have.

Is it the same on the SUVs?

I would assume so. I guess we'll have to wait on ScottyBoy to chime in or me to go hack up some wiring harnesses.

You rang?

This is true. I did mine underneath the fuse panel in the engine compartment. Its neater that way, you can't see any splices once the fuse box is mounted back in place. This was actually like the first mod I did on my truck. I did this way back in 2006 "before it was cool".

Yeah I've been wanting to do this since I got the truck, I just had no idea how easy it was.

Do you know if this would work for my wife's '97 Venture? The headlights flat out suck

I have absolutely no clue. None whatsoever. Wiring is not something that my brain likes, I just followed directions to do this.

You could always try, it's not that hard, or hard to un-do should it not work.

Great job, man.

If I remember right, the Venture runs a dual headlamp system... High and low are in the same bulb... You'll burn your lights out at a much higher pace, if not damage your headlight housings.

Hey Doc, I believe you are right.

This is me smacking myself in the back of the head.

Should have checked before asking a dumb question.
