Hi,

Not so easy, but it could be done. The Headlights (especially the Litroninics) draw a lot of amperage, so I'd probably add a relay from the ignition HOT lead and then route the actual headlamp circuit to the relay. You don't want to overload the ignition circuit and risk frying the DME ($2000+)...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
