gmc headlight wiring

hay guys i had a question about wiring my GeMC (GEM CEE thought of it my self lol) head lights

any way i want to upgrade my lights to the ones you see in LMC or Classic Industries my thought was if i bought 4 low/high lights that i could wire them togeather so when you have low beam on all 4 lights are on then when you put high beams on all 4 switch to high not that there is a reason i just think it would look better at night ( 4 low/4 high) has anyone done it??

yep. if it was legal, the OEMs would be doing it. If you were to look into federal DOT regulations, you'd be AMAZED at the regs.

I believe those are supposed to be illegal too.
Get the upgraded harness and run all 4 high beams @ 100W.

Re: gmc headlight wiring

ya i guess it is i think its a stupid law myself i think having 4 lights (low beam) would look really nice -- those damn bmw's lights are pretty bright on low. worst case if i got pulled over i could tell the law man (THOSE'S ARE MY LOW BEAMS)
