No Seafoam required.

The high beam indicator is supposed to be a smaller bulb and dimmer than the others. You generally run brights at night and for a long time, so you don't want the indicator to be bright and annoying. The others are warning lights that need to be easily seen in the day time.

The small bulb that was in there was so dim that it was hard to tell if it was on or not.

I run high beam in the day and low beam at night. I use low beam at night so that my auxiliary lights are on. In the day I use high beam to increase my visibility since I have the truck lite LED's lights.

Prot I run the trucklite high beam most of the time too, even at night, I don't get flashed because the light is so directional (which is why it's hard to see in daytime).

I ran my passing lights to my aux circuit so now they stay on with high beam. It's easy I think I posted instructions on one of my threads if you are interested.

And I put yellow bulbs in my passing lights because I like the way they look. Not sure if they are more noticeable or not but I don't think they are less.

Dibs claimed by traildog. I'll send them out Monday, which is when I will be back on my feet from a week long illness.

Evo guys indeed. Last of a dying breed.
