hold a high beam bulb next to a low beam bulb, look inside the plug, all you need to do is modify the high beam bulb to fit in the low beam socket, takes about 30 seconds per bulb.

yes. but modifying the high beam plugs to fit in the low beam sockets is a whole lot easier and you can always go back to stock with just a bulb change.

only if your lights are missaimed to start with

you shouldn't have any problem with blinding oncoming drivers though, just more light on the road.

Doing this doesn't cause any problems with wattage? The high beams operate on higher wattage than low beams. When I bought my lights I looked for those that operated at 55W for low and 65W for high, just like stock. This isn't going to melt any wiring or anything???

Your still dealing with low amps and you only use them for short times so the posibility is real slim that anything would happen. Dont forget you still have your fuse box

The fuse is designed to blow before the wire opens. That's a fuse's purpose....

I've ran mine like this for a year with no problems. Don't worry they work great.
