Default Headlight ?

Newb question really.


on 93-96 F-bodys, can one use a high beam light in place of the low beam position? Or is there a wattage difference?

Aren't there 2 connectors(1 for hi beam and 1 for low)? My car is at the house and I can't look. Just swap them and aim the high beams down and the regular lights up. I remember wanting the position swapped so I could pull my regular headlights out and not be a popeye. CAI now and those days are over.

They use different connectors. The plugs will not match up.

I do projector beam conversions, install HID lights and can convert almost any light into any car. I swapped brighter Mercedes square headlights into
my originally-round headlight 69 Nova.

IF you want a non-standard lighting arrangement, I can do that.
I have a conversion that I do that uses high and low beams at the same time for high beams and a choice of either low for "low" or "high" for low.

If you want me to look at your car, and tell you what can be done, get back with me.-Bob
