bypassing the headlight lowbeam cutoff
hey everyone... I want to bypass the relay/switch that shuts the low beam off when you switch on the highbeam.. or to put more clearly, I want the lowbeam and Highbeam to be on when I turn on my highbeams. any ideas? I'm pretty good with electronics, so feel free to get technical if need be.

It's impossible. You have a dual-filament headlight. That means one bulb, two different intensities.
If you're wanting a brighter bulb, go to an auto parts store and ****** up some xenon (white light) bulbs. They're around $40. It's an H4 type bulb.

Theoretically, you should be able to light both filaments at the same time, but both on, they'll probably get pretty darn hot. You'd have to run new wiring though because if you wire them in series, they'll be really dim if they even light. If you run them in parallel, you're drawing twice the current or around 10 amps. That'll most likely melt your stock wiring harness. I had a 90watt high beam bulb which drew about 8 amps, and I could smell burning plastic anytime I turned it on.
