Low and high beam on at the same time

Ok so i have cedias and want the low beam to stay on when the high beam is turned on .
What would i need , i know the evo's do that so can i just get the light switch from a evo?
Or could i just buy some kind of relay and wire it up.
Lmk guys
Btw i have 8k hid low beam and 5k hid high beam

Yes, it is a relay of sorts. I had a 01 mirage that had seperate high and low beams. I had a dual halo set of headlights. I wrecked the front slightly and had to order a new set. The second set came with a wiring harness that had a relay wired in and drew power directly from the battery. It was set up for using both high and low beams at once. You may have to find one of these harnesses or make one yourself. Do you have any pics of your headlights and wiring? I may be able to help out.

Here is a link to a set of mirage headlights with the harness I used on my mirage for dual high beam. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/97-98...mZ300264900072

You'll probably have to make your own harness for this, but all you have to do is get two relays, wires, connectors, and the connecters for your type of bulb. You can go on ebay and type in h4 wiring or whatever bulb wiring and find them. Don't worry, I am searching around for you ( and me) to find out how to do this.
