I love the look of my 6gen but I really hate how only the outside headlights light up. Takes away from the 4 eye look whenever I see my reflection on another car. Now I know that messing with headlights can be sketchy or illegal or whatever, but I was thinking of having an adjustable hi beam switch? I want to have a two setting switch so I can flip on my low beams with hi beams in "low power" mode, and a setting for normal hi beams. What would I need and how would I do it? If its done right then there shouldnt be any conflict with road laws either, since the hi beams would still function normally when in the high power setting

The issue with that is the high beam cutoff, or the lack thereof more precisely. You'd have to somehow make it to where there's either a cutoff shield that moves or change the housing completely to accept and work properly with a dual beam bulb. The only thing I'd know to do is to get the "JDM projectors" and then bake open the high beam housings and do a mini H1 or perhaps D2S HID conversion, then you could have them come on with low beam and only have high beam controlling the solenoid for the cutoff shield. Rather or not that's feasible I couldn't say as I've not seen it done, but it'd be a starting point.

You might could look into and try a DRL or city light in the housings as well, though it'd be fairly faint but should be visible enough at night at least.
