Gee, thanks for the warning.
OK - let me rephrase the question...
Has anyone ever figured an easy way to re-wire the "driving lights" on a
9000 so
they can stay on with the high beams?
BTW - I disagree with you completely about somehow having additional
peripheral lighting (fog lights) and the high beams on at the same time will
reduce your visibility. That's a tough one to buy. Plus you didn't answer
my question...
