I recently purchased a set of black headlight housing that is meant to work with normal, non-HID, bulbs. The one downside is they have disabled the high beam on switch and only flashing the high beams is available. Some have said that the lights are weak as well so I figured I'd stick some Hella 500 Black Magic on to fix this issue and keep that nice dark front going. I am wondering if there is a way to wire these into the stock rally light setup, on by using the high beam switch to on? I don't want/need them on unless I'd want the high beams set to on and I don't really want to have to do a ton of wiring on my new (to me) clubman.

 

Should be easy enough to do by just connecting your rally light relay to the wire going to the headlights that would normally power up the high beams. Connect the "power in" side of the relay to a constant 12v source (the big red wire going to your under hood fuse box) and your rally lights will turn on anytime you activate the high beams.

 

Just to help some wiring newbies out:


Get a relay wiring harness similar to picture above. The two sets of blue and black wires go to your rally lights. Red wire hooks up to positive side of battery. The two black wires go to ground. The white wire goes to the positive side of your high beams, which would be the blue wire in the picture below:

The wire going to my high beams (at the oem connector on the car side) is yellow with a green stripe.
