SILVER Star
Recently picked up a pair of DEPO lights off of ebay from the known seller identified all over Mud. I have to say, for the cost, the build quality is legit. Best of all, I can now adjust my headlights. My OE headlights did not adjust any longer as the gears were shot.
Background Info:
I have read countless threads about these lights. I know the best option is HID with retrofitted projectors. I (most likely) will do this but that is later. I cannot justify the $ right now. Most guys here hook the 9006 (low) to the H4 and the 9005 (high) to the H1. This does NOT take advantage of the dual filament the H4 has to offer. In addition, I have read that the H1 is essentially an auxiliary driving light built into the headlight. From my experiments with the H1 last night it does appear to be more of a spot driving light. It sounds like in Europe cars fitted with this set-up have the option to activate the H1 when the high beams (H4 high beam filament) are on. I guess this could be beneficial (to turn off the H1) in raining/snowing conditions. I am not worried about that function.
Question:
I have the Slee 9005/9006 upgrade harness. This harness has a hook up for auxiliary driving lights wired to the highs. If I connect this to the H1 bulbs I then have the 9006 and 9005 plugs going to the H4 lamp. How do I modify this so it works properly? I am assuming I will need some sort of relay. I know I can buy an aftermarket harness from Innovative Wiring or Susquehanna MotorSports. However, like most of us on here...I would like to figure it out if possible . Besides, I have the Slee harness already installed.
What I want:
As ALWAYS - Thanks for your time and suggestions.

What I want:
- When the low beams are on (9006) the low beam filament of the H4 is lit.
- When the high beams are on (9005) the low beam filament of the H4 is off and the H4 high beam filament is lit. (In addition, the H1 bulb is lit. I believe the auxiliary hook-up will take care of this.)
- I don't want this to turn into running an HID without projectors debate. I'd like the above situation to be addressed.
- Oh, yeah...NO politics
As ALWAYS - Thanks for your time and suggestions.
