I am wanting information on how to wire and put in a switch to toggle headlights on and off while the lights are in the down position, so that at night the headlights are down and will shine through the “flash-to-pass” lights, but also still be able to flip the lights up if I want.

There is a fuse in the engine compartment fuse box called retractor.. if you yank it out the headlights will not go up.. So if you interupt tat circuit with a switch and leave the fuse in you can get the results you are looking for..

no where near enough lights shines thru that little slit.

It may look 'cool', but its not safe, and if you use fog lights the law

says that auxilary lighting cannot be brighter then the headlights.



Its cool for driving at dusk, or sitting in a parkinglot I guess.

I guess thats why he wants to put a switch in
