Exterior light mod Options

[6ggggggg]

Hi, my g/f has a 6g celica GT and she would like to have all 4 lights on at night (daytime and night time (not high beams)). Can we just add a jumper wire? If so, from where to where? Thanks.

If you want to blind everyone, yes.
Or, you could just drive with your highbeams switched on, but once again, that will blind everyone.

The DRLs seem so weak thought... How could they blind?

He said highbeams switched on all the time. The high beans are aimed upward so they will always blind people because they aren't aimed at the road like low beams. and they are also higher wattage bulbs. If you jump the wire from the lowbeam power to the highbeam power you will probably blow a fuse. If you jump the Fuse you will probably burn wires. The only thing I can think of doing in your case is removing the bulb and finding the same size bulb but really dim. Just enough so it lights up the housing, but doesn't really shine far and into people's eyeballs as they drive toward you.

Or if you want just the look of 4 headlights lit up, and not the light output, you could somehow install LEDs in the housing to light it up, and wire it into you switched driving lights somehow, to light up the inside headlight housings.

Otherwise, I don't think this is a great idea.

Please tell your GF not to do this.

Also I forgot to mention, our "DRLs" are just the turn signals dimly lit (this is just for the front DRLs and this is one turn back on the light switch stalk). The two outer lights are our headlights (two turns back) . And the two inner lights are our high beams (pull the stalk back).

The LEDs in the housing isn't too bad of an idea, but without some knowledge about reflectors and refraction you're going to be just guessing and checking. Especially since LEDs have directional light output

You can possibly look for Bi-Xenon HID lights that would fit in the high beam casing. Some cars which only use one bulb which works for their lows and highs use these. Here is a better explanation on how they work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSq3tjhKzDs

Yeah but he would have to pay around $150 for a projector retrofit kit and 100 for decent ballasts and bulbs and buy a set of Jdm clear high beams. Then wire it all up.
It would probably be easier to just buy led projector bulbs and replace the high beams with them, and aim them properly

Honestly if you'd consider running all 4 lights without having to bother with the cutoff or reflectors, you'd have to see about a retrofit kit. Of course you'd have to sand down the inside of your headlight lenses to make them clear as well as treat them with a UV protectant so they don't yellow out or haze up and also if you want them to look decent on the inside see about making bezels for the projectors. That aside, a basic retro fit kit that has everything you need would be 270.00 as seen on here:

Seriously though, talk her out of it and if you guys feel like going more modern with the lights, put the hundreds of dollars that this would cost and get JDM clear projector headlights
