hdfat2002 is on a distinguished road
Headlight fuse blew in high-beam setting after a few minutes of running.

I'm gonna change my design and try again--this time, instead of running the diode jumper from the high-beam to the low-beam, I am gonna cut the passing lamp wire off the low bean circuit and connect the passing lamp circuit to the high-beam via a diode and to the low beam via a diode.

The main difference will be that, when I switch to high beam, the low beam will now turn off--but the passing lamps will remain illuminated.

Should work. I'll report back after I've done it.
