I would like to run all four headlights as low beam and high beams... I am installing LED headlights.... has anyone written a post on this? if not, any pointers will be highly appreciated folks.
A ttached is the type of LED light I will be using.

Thanks in advance,

Only experience I've had with them is on the receiving end, they will blind the on coming drivers, they don't point the light in a beam.

If your setup blinds other drivers, it flat out sucks!

slow down fellas, the high beam will blind anyone. all I want is uniformity across the front. so instead of having the outer lights as low beam only, I want all 4 as low beam. and when needed all four as high beam. not high beam all the time.... that's just a ty move.

Maybe the led technology has evolved, we could (maybe) get a vendor in on this.
@Diode Dynamics
They could shed some light on this subject
see what I did there?

I think I may just need to jump the outer lights wires in order to give the inside lights the same use... I think..... with my luck I am far far away from right....

Will this car have fog lights too? Some localities have laws about how many white colored lights are permitted to be lit on the front of a vehicle. 4 is the typical limit. If you have double low beams plus fogs, that makes 6. You'll notice that in mist factory setups, when you select high beams, the fog lights go out.

The car does have fog lights but I don't use them at all. Also, I have some eye sight problems, so night time driving for me is very limited. The lights themselves wont be getting used as much since I only do daytime events. But I certainly see what you are saying. Thanks for the reply.
