Apparently it takes the load off the switch and makes the lights brighter too. I plan to do this to my truck when I get close to putting it back together. Here is a link to their sale thread.

Looks like a nice truck, have fun with it.

i would spend the 12 or 15 bucks and get a new headlight switch, and check the grounds from the plugs, i had a problem where the high beams would not work but the low beams would, turned out the be a bad connection in the firewall connector in the back of the fuse block,, coming from the dimmer switch
