1990 325i upgraded to ellipsoids How do I get High & Low Beams at the Same Damn Time

[providence]

I have searched around a bit for a definitive answer, I tried jumpering terminal 30 on both relays- that didnt work. Would like to have lows on when the highs are on if there's a simple way to do it.

Man my headlights and yo headlights aint the same damn kind, I can turn my lows and highs on at the same damn time!

Lol

You connect two prongs on the relay for the lights, can't remember which. Search and you should be able to find it.

Jumping pin 30 on the 2 relays should work. You sure your jumping the right relays? If not then you could put a diode on the low and high beam hot wires then just splice them together to run a single filament bulb.

I jumpered 30 to 30 on the high and low beam relays - per the photo in the Bentley manual. I actually removed all of those relays to see which one was the low beams, but they stayed on with any one of them removed.

Relay K3 is for the low beams, and K4 is for the highs. You can either jump pin 30 on K3 to pin 30 on K4 or you can jump pin 30 to pin 87a on K3. They achieve the same result. If neither of these work, something happened when you wired up the lights.

Edit: I just read your last post. Do you mean the relays being disconnected won't turn the low beams off? If that's the case, you've somehow wired them into a hot lead and need to go take a look at your wiring.

Thanks i will try that
