    Ellipsoid Conversion

    So I have a sort of nagging question. How do you get the "flash" feature (pull back on high beam lever, highs illuminate so you can flash them) for the high beams once you have converted to ellipsoids from sealed beams?
    Or is this not an option?

    Should just work as normal.

    Mine does. Only the highs come on.

        Yeah, don't think the fact that it was a sealed beam car makes a difference. Only difference, obviously, is your lows switch off when your highs are on.

          works fine for me. and if you wire it right your lows stay on with your highs (and your fogs, too).

            Alright, should have made it more clear.
            When the lights are off, how do you get it to flash?
            I have it all wired correctly, and the lights function correctly, except for this nagging problem.

                  yeah, my highs come on if I flash with the lights off.
