How do you make your low beams stay on with your high beams?

When we hit the headlight’s high beam, the low beam’s negative wire forces it to turn off. When we let go of the high beam, the positive wire flows the electricity back to the low beam, and it turns on again. So, the only change you have to do is ground the negative wire of your low beam.
