Yeah anything in Canada is mandatory DRL. I have that controller but its behind the bumper just bellow the headlight.

Just checked. No module. I also checked the high beam wire on my '94, it's also showing voltage with the low beams on. Also no DRL module. Each headlight shares a ground between the low and high beam. I wonder if that could cause a slight voltage existence in the high beam wire? It shouldn't, just wondering. Also need a new bulb. I managed to drop one while reinstalling it. I went for the spare in my glove box and it's a 2004 bulb. Won't fit! I got it and a couple of other spare bulbs out of another F150 at the salvage yard. I guess they switched from the 2004 to the 2007 at some point or vice versa.

This should help

Oh okay, I cut a wire to disable the DRL when I got the HID's, I wasn't sure if you had the same wire but for low beam.

Thanks anyway!

EDIT - NEVERMIND! Always make sure that your salvage yard relays are in good working order. Lol

I've got a ton of relays that I grab while I'm at the salvage yard. I always fill up my tool box with relays and fuses every trip to the yard. I pay about .50c for each relay compared to $5 and up at the the parts stores. So I guess one bad relay out of the 100 or so that I have on hand isn't bad. I could go ahead with my project and run the hi/lo beam setup, but I think I'm going with just the off road lights on the high beam operated off of a good relay. I've got the circuit wired up now, so all I need to do is get back under the truck and reroute my off road lights wiring. I might tackle the 55 watt work lights and wire them into my reverse lights in the next couple of days. When I throw the switch for the 55w lights, that will activate the reverse lights too for extra work lighting (THEORY!). When I put the truck in reverse that will activate the work lights too for extra back up lighting.

Wire the relay's control voltage into the Hi beam indicator light.

That was my next move, but I got it figured out now. I was editing at the same time you posted. Thank you!

That would be easy enough to DIY. Use a single relay wired to the battery for each pair of brights and a single relay for each pair of lows using the stock wiring for the trigger. If you bought two new 40a relays and a roll of 10g wire, you might spend $20 and get a great gain in the brightness of stock bulbs. If I ever get my clear housings and silverstar bulbs, that would be an easy upgrade and probably get you as close to HID's as possible with Halogen bulbs. I rewired my atv headlights like the kit above within a week of purchasing it and added 55/65w silverstars and doubled the output. I'm running HID's on it now, but swapping to relays and heavy gauge wires is a huge improvement.

FYI- I rewired both 12v outlets in the cab with 8g wire with one run off of a relay triggered by the ignition. The other one is wired direct to the battery. No more super hot and melted plugs on my air compressor or my spot light. I also drilled a hole and added a third accessory plug on the dash for my gps to plug into. The factory wiring just wasn't meant to handle high amp draw.
