Default sticky for bambi mod?

I've been searching and haven't come up with detailed directions. There was some Lordstown link but it doesn't work anymore... Blackbetty's build doesn't help me much either.(no offense) Pictures and step by step is what i'm looking for. i drive a lot of back roads with no road lighting and tons of deer... i just put silverstar bulbs in and they work great, but id like to run my highbeams and fogs at the same time... i know its illegal...

there are a couple of things you can do. cheap and easy is a switch and some wire and run a wire to the positive wire of the fog lights to a new switch in the cab and from the switch to your battery. and dis connect the factory fog light wire then you can run high beams and fog lights at the same time. less that 15 bucks. you can also get a set of off road lights and mount on your truck and have them set up so it would be like your high beams. i mounted a set of Hella black magic lights behind my grill and run fog lights driving head lights and my off road lights when driving back roads and off roading

I got a couple poor pics.

All you need to do is have a wire with a prong to slip behind the relay, then ground the wire to the cab.

Is this for lows/highs on at same time or highs/fogs on at same time?

That is for highs/fogs. We have single filament bulbs so the high/low isn't an option.

Do you have a diagram by chance?


I'm running after-market lights, so I don't have the single filament bulbs anymore..


I know I could but a diode between my high and low so that juice would flow from high to low but not from low to high, thus when I kick my highs on the lows would come also....


However, that would mean butchering the harness- and I would really prefer to avoid that. I was wondering if there was a relay where I could accomplish the same thing..

No diagram...sorry. and I have 9008 bulbs, so can't help with the high-low either.
