I put relays on the high and low beams so the hneadlights are
much improved but still not as good as I would like on low beam
on our 87 Westy.
So I was thinking:
1. what if I angled the rectangular headlight
down a bit (a lot?), and angled it over a bit to the right to avoid
blinding everyone and then changed the wiring so that when I select low
beam, power would actually go to the high beam filament in the rectangular
headlight.
2. when I select high beam, the inside round high beam headlights would come on
as well as the low beam filament in the rectangular headlight.
Would this proposed setup provide good "low beams" for myself as well as
vehicles in front of me and oncomoming traffic?
Would this provide good "high beams" or would I then have to try and
find a replacement for the inside round high beam headlight?
I know, I should just try all this myself and then just tell the list
how it works out, but this just sounds like the kind of thing
other folks on the list may haave already tried.
TIA,
Brian
