High beams ,low beams and fog lights

[OMalley]

Anybody know how I can make my 06 2500's high, low and fog lights come on at the same time? I upgraded to HID's for the High low and fog's but the High beams suck ass by themselves.

Yes I searched on here and the web.

THanks,

OMalley

here is one copy and paste


I have the whole thing with pictures, but it is too big for this post.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 03-06 CHEVY/GMC TRUCK

First obtain a kit from http://www.mrtaillight.com these are well built and only need comon tools for the entire install. My kit cost me less than $20.00 including shipping!

1) Lie out the entire kit and read the directions carefully before you begin the installation. Your kit should include the following items:
3-T-clips, 1-Wire harness, 2-Wire tie, 1-Mounting screw
Optional items you may want to use: Liquid electrical tape, Additional wire ties, Wire loom, ¼-3/8”


2) Remove the driver side headlight assembly by removing the retaining bar and lifting the unit out of its mounting slots.


3) Enlarge the mounting hole in the left relay with a ¼” drill bit. Use a 10 MM socket to remove the bolt under the headlight mount.


4) Mount the relay to this bolt making sure you place the ground ring terminal onto the bolt first to ensure a good ground then tighten the bolt.


5) Pull the positive wires from the stock headlight wiring from the stock loom. Yellow wire on the low beam, Green wire on the high beam. Attach T-clips to these wires. And seal the connection with liquid electrical tape to fight corrosion. Cover the white and blue wires from the kit in separate pieces of loom. Feed the white wire through the opening behind the DRL and the blue wire through the hole behind the turn signal. Attach the white wire to the T-clip on the high beam positive wire and the blue wire to the T-clip on the low beam positive wire.


6) Carefully push the T-clip and wires back into the stock looms. Tape the loom from the white wire to the high beam wiring loom and the loom from the blue wire to the low beam wiring loom. This will prevent the wires from being pulled and damaged.

7) Feed the long loomed wire to the driver side fog light, (if equipped). Disconnect the fog light wiring harness from the fog light and pull out the violet positive wire. Attach a T-clip to the violet wire and seal the connection with liquid electrical tape. Connect the long loomed wire to the T-clip and carefully push it into the stock wiring harness. Tape the wiring looms together and use a wire tie to secure a drain loop to protect the connections.


8) Locate the red battery stud box on the front of the engine on the driver’s side. Open the box and carefully drill a ¼ “ hole in the bottom of the box. Cut out any material between the hole and the front of the box to create a U-shaped hole to place the double ring terminal wires. This will also serve as a drain hole. Fish the long loomed wire with the fuses through the hole behind the turn signal and between the battery and fender, then between the battery and the fuse box to the red battery stud box. Be careful to route the loom away from hot and moving engine parts. Place the ring terminal onto the accessory stud using an 11/16 socket. Use wire ties to secure excess wire away from hot or moving parts.
(If your vehicle does not have this box, fish the wire to the fuse box behind the battery and secure it to a 12V+ stud inside this box.)



9) Turn on your low beam headlights and look at the passenger side. The outside lamp should be the only one on. Next turn on your fog lamps, (if equipped), you should have the low beam headlight and fog light only. Next turn on your high beam headlight. All of the lights should be on. If any of these tests fail, check your wiring, ground and battery stud connections, correct any errors and try again.

10) Reconnect and reinstall the drivers side headlight and reconnect the drivers side fog light. CONGRATULATIONS YOU ARE FINISHED, (except the cleanup).

did the HIDs not help? or do you just want more light

[OMalley]

The HID's work great, except they take a while to come completly on (yes I know, they are HID's). With the low and fog's on, WOW. When switching to just the high beams, I am completly without light for a few seconds....Not exactly ideal. I knew there were kits out there to run both the High's and Low's together but the fog's with the HID's are SWEET hence the question on about running the fog's with the H&L beams.

Thanks

i've had this done for 3 years with no problems, and it costs less than $3

[OMalley]

Will be doing that later this week. Neat and tidy and I don't have to pay a fortune for some Painless wiring crap

I'm new to this that's why I am following each step carefully for I might miss something. I'm stucked, I am currently looking for some better tapes. My old tape doesn't work anymore. Thanks for the infos.

i know high beams are nice and all, but if your low beams and fog lights are sweet, why not just run them all the time? or what i would do to simplify the situation is wire your fog lights to a toggle switch instead of leavin them stock, so they dont turn off when you flip the high beams on.

[OMalley]

I did the rectifier diode route going into the wiring harness under the steering column. ( http://www.fullsizechevy.com/forums/...-mod-03-a.html) Took about 15 minutes and $5 worth of parts. Quick, easy, no cutting or splicing, no holes in the dash and easy to return to stock if required to do so.

Now the fog lights come on automatically with the low beams and EVERYTHING stays on when I turn on the high beams.

Not that anyone probably cares, but check local laws...a lot of states only allow 4 headlights to be lit at one time. Usually why fog lights turn off when high beams are selected...

my $0.02

very true, such as the reason around here that we have to keep our offroad lights covered when we drive on the road
