Tony,
When you do, you might want to wire differently that the factory, so the
flash-to-pass operates the high beams, whether or not the low beams are on.
You should never need to flash-to-pass when the high beams are on, as you
will have already dipped the lights to the low setting when you got behind
the car you are trying to pass.
The way the factory wired it, if my diagrams are correct, the feature won't
work if the lights are on - high or low beam. IOW, you can flash to pass in
the daytime, but at night, you need to blow the horn. Odd, isn't it?
