My gf and I figured this out last week, and now I can actually see where I'm going at night.



Looks pretty damn cool, too. [img]{SMILIES_PATH}/wink.gif[/img]

This mod WILL NOT work on:

Cars with HIGH BEAM DRLs
Late S-series, early L-series

Which years are "Early" or "Late"?

[ProDarwin]

95 + earlier sedans
96 +earlier coupes

Where did you get that list?

You can mod all S-cars w/o popus to do that.

[dream36realms]

he simply meant that if you don't dissable your DRL you will have your highs and lows on ALL the time during hours of daylight operations(oops military wording slipped again)

[OakDog]

i have pop-ups and overdrive my highbeams at about 60, lows at about 35. My foglights project better than my headlights.

SHIT< I am doing the install/mod now, and came into an issue, it says blue ground pink ground orange power, well I have a blue to each a pink to high and orange to low, so which is it? should I consider my blue constant?



NM, I finished. there is a blue on the lows on the passenger side. Thank yoiu chiltons, lol

[AC66Bronco]

will this work for keeping the fog lights on with the brights???

[Jeremy]

WHY?

[dream36realms]

yeah they are on.

[Apollo96SL2]

Hmm, didn't realize they changed colors on later years, but I'm glad you figured it out, Anunis. :lol: L-series, honestly I'm not sure on the exact years - they started with high beam DRLs, then switched to low beam DRLs with the "facelift" a few years back.

Oh, score - I didn't realize that this mod would fool the fogs into staying on with the high beams, but nice! I'm glad it does. The more light, the merrier!

For pop-ups on early SC/SC2s, I actually wouldn't recommend this mod. It'll burn out your headlights quick from the heat of having both filaments on at the same time. Instead I'd recommend this:



Shown on my MR2, 4" x 6" equivalent will work on an early SC/SC2. Euro beam pattern actually puts the light where you need it, and it takes a standard H4 bulb of higher wattage than the crappy sealed beams. Really the beam pattern makes the biggest difference, but brighter bulbs help too. I wish there was a Euro headlight assembly available for my SL2, but there isn't since it was never sold in Europe.

Is that just a plain old 4x6 one that you can pick up at checker or whatever?
