Default Hi and Lo beam on at the same time

Is there any easy way to wire up the headlights so that I can run my hi and low beams at the same time?

You do realize that switch will still work properly, right? Instead of low/high it would be low/low & high. It's not that they'd be on all the time.

I do realize that, but I was just wondering why he would need both high and low beams on. My high beams on alone puts out enough light to light up the road. I wasn't flaming, just wondering why he needed that much light output.

I just didn't know if you understood that they'd work like that. Why have HIDs, right?

Not really. It's all about being able to see clearly. Bye.

your bulbs will blow and your harness/housing will melt. 9003/h4 bulbs aren't meant to have both filaments illuminated at the same time.
