I was getting ready to do this today and my roommate told me it would burn out the fog lights faster. I didnt think it would. He is one of the guys that like to keep everything oem. He doesnt see why i want to do it. I told him to see better with the HI's on and i dont like it when the fog lights go off when u put the HI's on. so if any one can tell me if it burns the bulbs out faster and if it really helps u see better at night with the HI's on. thanks guys
I guess it's possible that your lows & fogs will burn out faster because they will be used when your lights are on both low & high beam, whereas in stock form, they turn off and save bulb life whenever you run your high beams. But I don't think it's going to hurt anything. Shaving a little life off of your fog/lows isn't too big of a deal.Quote:

what i was really wondering is will it hurt wiring or relays. i dont care about replacing bulbs, i just dont want to ruin my wiring and stuff like that.
All to wiring to the headlights already can handle the current w/o burning-up (independent wiring); unless you install higher wattage lamps which will draws more current and could burn up wiring and possible smoke the relay. I can't think of any reason that could cause damage to the circuit having both the Hi/lo beams and fog lamps on all at the same time. This option will only draw more power from the battery and thats ok...Quote:

can u send me a link on how to do this mod?
PM EVL LS1, he has the write up. I changed my fogs to PIAA 510 fog lamps. Big difference. I do highly recommend that mod as well. I didn't do the all light mod. I haven't honestly, had the time in 4 years :lol: If you want to change your lamps for higher wattage H3 bulbs, look at the cyberwhites from wal mart or blazertechs. I went the expensive route and used the 510's but cyber whites are just as good. It does require a simple bracket mod and some wire splicing but it take less than an hour to be honest. The results are definately worth it. Here's the pics on my car. I do have sealed beams for my lows with PIAA H7 bulbs.
PIAA's installed

The lamp looks out of center, I did fix it by adjusting the bracket
