Be careful running with Hi and Lo beams on at once, as running both
filiaments in your bulbs will cause them to get super hot and fail very
early. It would be a lot better to get slightly uprated bulbs or a pair
of driving lights ($20) to use with your high beams. Good
luck.

Also, the high beam circuit is relayed anyway. Hence the click when you
pull the stalk.
