I want my high beam to turn on when i turn my low beam on.
what do i need to do? Do i need to tap into the low beam? Please help.
I used to do this manually on a vehicle I owned because its headlights were so bad. If I pulled the stalk to switch from low to high beams, right before it clicked over to high, there was a moment where both highs and lows were on simultaneously. Apparently this was a feature called "flash to pass" (actually, I always figured it was more like "flash to **** off") and it was clearly only intended for brief periods of time (as you'll see) because you had to hold the stalk 'just so' if you wanted it to stay that way while driving. Anyway, just about the time I thought myself clever for mastering the stalk holding pre-click skill on dark, lonesome highways, I learned the real consequence of the practice...I fried the lamp sockets in the headlights from severe overheating. Luckily, it was under warranty at the time and the dealer cover the repair, but IIRC, it was ridiculously expensive at the time.
SO, if you're seriously considering messing with them, at least make sure you don't fry some wiring in the process.
