I was able to find anythign doing a search but has anyone here wired their 3rd Gen so that both sets of headlights will burn together when you turn onthe High Beam?

If so cold you post how you did it or point me to the correct thread.

umm they do light up together... if the low beams are already on. I'm 90% sure that if you're just flashing high beams when the low beams are off, it's momentary (hold on= on, release=off). so, back to your original question: I dont think you have to rewire anything..

I don't think he wants to just hold them on.

They both turn on when first pull the switch, but the low's turn off when you release and its just the brights.

Good idea, but I don't know how 3rd gen headlights work... I'd like the light output, but that would get really hot if they are in the same housing and you might melt it... I can get you a wire diagram if you want one. just lmk

Also this is for a 2G right? Because 3Gs already do this. You posted in the 3G section. I moved it to the 2G.

Hum, just saw the "98 Teg" in the profile. But this makes no sence then. The 3G does this already. Only the 2G could benifit from this mod.

lol, come on mark... he says in the post its for a 3rd gen... lol

Didn't know they already did it. thats cool.

I think the 2nd gen would melt the housings if you tried it... I don't want to be the first to do it! lol, someone else can try.

Don't worry about it. lol, I learned something new too. Didn't know that about the dc.

could you try some sylvania bulbs? I haven't used them personally, but my buddy put some in his gti and they did some good for him...

has anyone else used them before? What do you think of em?

UMMM... did you even read the first post?

He wasnt talking about wiring the high beams in with the low beams, he was talking about wiring the low beams in with the high beams. So when the high beams are on, so are the lows. When the lows are on, the highs are off. But G3's already do this.

Hell I figured he had the Gen wrong. Not like it hasnt been done before. Really the post only made sence for a 2G thats why I thought.

I have PIAA's in my 4Runner and Silverstars in my Mustang so I think I will try the new SilverStar Ultra's in the teg and I'm looking for a nice set of Fog Lights to add to it also.
