Headlight Tweak: Is this even possible?

Curious to know if it's even possible to tweak the headlight's electrical configuration so that all four headlights will come on when the brights are on. I'm finding on late-night road trips that it would be nice to have the low beams on as well for added illumination. I'm using Sylvania Silverstars as it is, but it seems a waste to have the lows off when you're trying to get more illumination on the roadway... and besides... the added cool factor of having all four headlights on would be icing on the cake.

Any suggestions on how to do this, or would it be super involved?

Its easy to do. Just jump the two power wires at dimmer switch with a toggle switch. With lights on high flip the switch,I also added another small indicator light so I would know.This works good on my 90 chevy PU mainly because the plastic lenses have gotten so fogged over the years

Thanks for the suggestion Ozone. Any tips for tracing out the power wires for the low-beams?

You can also pull the relay out and stick a small piece of electrical tape between the contacts.

A lot of guys have done that on Aleromod.com
