Need help getting full control of my lights
I Have A 99 With A 5 Speed And I've Been Having Trouble Getting MY Lights Completely Manual. I Did The Drl Delete And Quad Headlight Mod but My Lows Still Stay On. Any Help Would Be Appreciated. Sorry For The Caps Don' tKnow What's Wrong With My Phone

High beam, low beam and DRL's are all controlled by ground side switching inside the multifunction switch. Each individual filament has its own ground circuit. The circuits are fairly complex and they are different between LT/LS and ZR2. What exactly have you done, and what are you trying to accomplish?

As of right now all I have is the drl delete. I just bent the #86 pin over on the drl relay. what I want to do is to be able to run my lighta manually with the switch on the dash without the auto headlights or daytime runners interfering. Basically go back old school with the addition of the quad headlight setup because I'm running hids. I appreciate any help I can get.

To accomplish what you're looking to do, it will entail totally disabling, (eliminating) the auto lamp & DRL circuits, along with rewiring the headlamp and park lamp circuits, starting at the existing headlamp switch. It will involve modifications to existing circuits and the installation of new circuits & relays to control the dimmer & flash to pass functions. After it's done, the BCM will set DTC's in memory. It CAN be done, but definitely a challenge even for an experienced electrical technician.

Can I get away with doin the auto headlight disable by adding the resistor and leaving the pin bent over.Then add a switch to complete the ground for the quad beam whe I turn the headlights on?

The headlamps are fused separately, (left & right), the ground circuits are switched in the multifunction switch and through a grounding relay, so you'll most likely end up with some lights not working correctly and others not working at all. I can try to help you with it, but no guarantees
