im thinking about doing this now too. So all you do is wire one relay to the other? Does it matter what part of the relays you use?

In regards to your lights: I am going to do mine in a few minutes. If it worked with you i should have no problem. Did you use copper or aluminum wire. Does it matter? I have a ton of copper wire of different gauges

OK heres a SUPER EASY way to hook up your ellipses. No splicing involved.
1 take out your sealed beams.
2 attach male prongs to harness wires
3 plug these into the sealed beam harness
As for the city lights, the same principle applies. You just plug into the sidemarker harness.Renting my rear wheel bearing tool kit. SIR

Hey guys, so today I went out and wire up my sealed beam to US ellipsoid. It was pretty much straight forward (the pigtails and my stock wiring were the same color), except the low beam had 2 of the same color wire. So I pretty much try each one, until I was able to get the bulb on. The high beams are also straight forward (also the pigtails were same color to my stock wiring), but there was one wire left. So here's my question, the 2 extra wires on my car are the same color. Could it be possible that those 2 should wire up to each other in order to have the low stay on when high beam is ignited? If not what do I do in order to have my low stay on when highs are ignited? Thanks! Here are some pics:

(Notice how the high and low extra wire are the same color)

Thanks again for you help.

I believe the two wires are because the sealed beams have two filaments in each low beam, and when you turn on the high beams, it switches to the other filament in the low beams.
When I hooked my lights up, I kept the factory sealed beam connector and crimped spade connectors to the end of the ellip wiring harness. Then I just plugged everything in. There were three possible slots to connect to on each sealed beam low-beam connector, and two connectors coming from the ellips, so the one for the second filament didn't get anything plugged into it. I then did the relay jump so all the lights would stay on at once.
