Ok so I'm finally building the wiring harness for the E-code H1/H4's for
my 4kq..

I have two relays - one for the high beams and one for the low beams.

I just checked the output of the factory headlight harness and found
that there are three wires.  We'll call them [ground] [low beam] and
[high beam].

When [low beam] is hot, [high beam] and [ground] are both grounded.

When [high beam] is hot, [low beam] and [ground] are both grounded.

This seems like it is an "either-or" situation.  I want to have both the
low beams and the high beams illuminated when the high beams get
switched on.  How do I accomplish this without creating a
"short-circuit" situation??

Easily confused,
George
'85 4kq
