[s-cars] HID Install

[Stott Hare]

This was something I noticed and was happy to discover.  I was concerned 
that if the low beams normally went out when the highs were switched on, 
that I would have an issue with delayed light output while the HIDs 
reignited when the lows were switched back on.  Much happier to see that 
they stay on by design, and that I don't have to add an additional 
relayed circuit to keep them on.
