Default just an idea: wiring the high-beams in series...

to be used at daytime running lights or fog lights or even parking lights at half-wattage.. i've been thinking about this idea for about a day. i'm getting a set of BMW E46 Bi-xenon HID that i plan to retrofit into the TC. since its bi-xenon, i could possibly do away with the stock halogen hi-beams and make them daytime lights or fogs or parking. i've seen some lexus that have their hi-beams half-lit. just tossing the idea around, please give comments or suggestions.

check out the hamsar 45060 DRL module. it basically runs your high beams at 60% reduced power. has some sort of logic circuit so that it'll shut off when you turn your lows on. you can also still flash your highs.

yeah... in fact most, if not all factory installed DRLs run from the high beams.
