it would as "simple" as replacing the high beam bulbs with low beam bulbs... which would require shaving the tabs off the bulb... or modifying the bulb holder... like everyone is saying, it will prevent you from having any HB functionality and the aiming of these lights, regardless of lamps - might piss off oncoming traffic.

I am also personally interested in having all four lamps on at once - thought it looked cool.. while maintaining HB functionality. There are couple solutions;

- PWM the Highbeams
- use an OPAMP with DA signal to limit the voltage to the lamps
- use some kind programmable current limit circuit

basically some smart control to allow you to switch between 4 low beams and, 2 low / 2 high functionality
