Does anyone have any photos or diagrams for making the loom?

This might be a stupid question (kids, don't try this at home, I have professional experience asking this stuff)
What if you left the low beam on, and when you hit the brights you added the high beams to the low beams---Super Bright!! :shock:
It might be worth it to see how long the bulb would last.

Eurowires harness is very quality, came with everything including relays and ubber thick wires, just plug/splice into your original harness and "Let there be light!"

I think the bulbs would go pretty quick. I would assume with twice as many filaments burning, there would be twice as much heat!
If you try it let me know! I've thought about this before too. (I have an HID setup and can't try it myself)

In my old Jetta I could hold the high beam switch just before it engaged and both lights would be on. Definitely sounds like a fire hazard if you have stock wiring :shock:
These things are pretty easy to make, and if you look around the net you can find all the pieces you need to make it plug and play, no cutting required.

The weaker head lamp has a ground problem. It would be a good idea to check and add another seperate ground if needed.

i know i'm a little late on this but thought i'd chime in being that i tried this 6 months ago or so on a stock 81. was driving home one night and pulled the brights lever just before it clicks and both high and low beams were on for about 2 minutes and which point and released the lever and my drivers side bulb exploded. Again, everything on my rig was stock but it wasn't worth it. However, I used to do this on my '02 chevy s-10 extreme so that my fog/high/low's were all on... that was nice on dark nights. Maybe upgraded/new equipment would handle it a lot longer... but it's still probably better to just add more lights imo.

I prefer running the ground directly to the battery rather then chassis ground. At $40 that's a great price. What gauge of wire is it?
