I've seen this on other cars, but i cant remember which ones at the moment. And when the high beams are needed they will come on full power. I assume it wouldn't be too hard to do, a couple of resistors and a diode. May sound silly but Im interested in what you all think. 1999 CSVT lightly modded http://www.lindseyinc.net/vehicles/contour

Ask yourself this: Do you currently have the daytime running light relay (DRL)? If yes: no need to ask If no: Can you currently turn your headlights on full power high? If yes: no need to ask If no: see haynes manual for repairs. Ray '99 CSVT - Silver #222/276 In a constant state of blow-off euphoria.
