Rodder's Roundtable / Sealed beam headlight

Thanks for the info. I never thought about the ground getting too much current and causing a failure. I will not use the jumper wire so it works normally.
Thanks, Rick

Rodder's Roundtable / Sealed beam headlight

It is great to be back on Rodding round table. I have been on here for years as Learpilot, but something happend and I could not log on as Learpilot anymore. I changed email address and that may have done it.
Also I am not the greatest on computers.

I just upgraded my Silver Star sealed beam headlights by putting them on relays. They are much brighter. I checked the voltage at the alternator and it was 14.5 volts, but at the headlights it was only 9 volts. After I installed the relay harness the voltage now reads 13.8 volts at the headlights.
My question to all you experts, can I have the high and low beams on at the same time ? I have put a jumper wire from the dimmer swich power to the low beams. When I go to high beams it does not cut off the low beams. That is what most of the newer cars have. I know they use 4 lights.
Thanks in advance for your advice !!!!
