Running highs and lows in H4 Eurolights

[Avi Meron]

Hi Tom,
You might have a problem on your headlight stalk/switch.  In order to get
the lights to BOTH you have to hold the stalk manually, which is the ONLY
time both lights H and L should be on.  If  the  switch is 'somehow" stuck
in the position of intermittent (both lights are on) that might be your
problem.
I can't think about another reason for the cause.
Try starting (trouble shoot) from the switch and see what happens.
Take care, and let us know,
Avi

Subject: Running highs and lows in H4 Eurolights

This almost sounds like a newbie question, but I am looking for some input:

Both my 87 5KCSTq and 89 100q have the H4 (non-turbo) Eurolights installed.
The low beam relay on the 100q is a little "sticky" and doesn't turn off
right away.  When I put the high beams on, I get both highs and lows for a
short period of time.  During this period, lighting is AWESOME.

What kind of problems would I be looking at if I wired a jumper from the
high beam relay to the low (with a diode to prevent back flow) so both ran
on high beam?  The only issues I can think of would be heat dissipation and
light scatter?  Any comments would be appreciated.
