Rally Lights Operation

Ok someone who has the Dealer Installed Rally lights, help me out here.

The only way i can get the rally lights to come on is to hit the button the dash, then turn on my high beams.

Can't I turn on the Rally lights w/out having on high beams?

Id like to drive around with them on w/out blinding people.

thanks..

the way you descibed the behavior is the intended behavior. Those lights are intended as pencil beam long range lights. You do not want to drive around with those on all the time. They themselves would be dangerous for other drivers.

ah, gotcha. I am sure there is a way to switch it. Might do a search in the electrical modding section. I'm sure someone has done it.

good luck,
