Head lights

[gotdiesel?]

Hey guys, I once saw a gizmo that replaced or augmented the headlight relay so that your low beams and fog lights stayed on when you switched to high beam. I believe the device in question was for Chevys but I didn't know If there was a similar doodad for my 3rd Gen ? My high beams are a dissapointmen at best so I am looking for some improvement on the winding, dark NE roads.

Thanks

Josh

Geno's has a "Brite box" for the 3rd gens.

www.thebritebox.com is where I got mine.I got the one where your fog lights stay on when your high lights are on,plenty of light.They were looking for some testers when they first came out with them for the 3rd gens so I got it at a discount.There worth the money.

lschultz.........didn't you have some problems with your prototype "tester" britebox ?

Have they ironed out all the kinks now, I have been waiting to get a britebox set-up untill I heard some replies from the test group and knew that they had them working 100%

We certainly need something to help these stock headlights.

I know they said the new model would be avaliable for sale in early November.

They sent me another set to replace the ones I had. So far they are working great. But I had to pay to send the ole ones back. No big deal it was not that much. It's just the principal of the thing. But its done. Life goes on. Probably just a mistake on there part.

Another option would be to replace the stock headlight bulbs with Sylvania Silver Stars. I did and am now able to see clearly at night on dark country roads. They are usually available at most auto parts stores and cost about $45.00 for a pair.

It sure looks like the britebox made it pretty idiot proof, if you are willing to part with $150.
With a little ingenuity, some simple wiring, and a Bosch accessory relay, one can do the same thing for about 1/3 the price.
It may not be "boughten pretty" but it will work just as well, and save you some hard earned bucks.
