    High Beams on with Low Beams

    Hi

    A few years ago I got instructions on how to wire my headlights so that I can have my low beams stay on when I turn on my high beams. Would anyone have this information as I need to put it back to stock. I need to have the low beams shutoff when the highbeams come on, for some reason the high beams in this configuration are very dim and the car will not pass a safety check.

    Thanks

    Sounds like a grounding issue. Basically just remove the wire you added to the relay! But I honestly have no idea what if any wiring differences are between my 2nd gen and your car.

    I can't be sure with your JDM headlights, but Subaru typically uses a switched ground system with a common hot. Keep that in mind as you re-wire and check everything (preferably with a multi-meter).
