Headlight wiring question

[particlewave]

I think I was a bit confused...

Do you want to flash the HID bulbs with the stalk when the headlight switch is off?
You can’t flash HIDs. That’s why you must keep the original high beam bulb.

You could use the fog lights as flash bulbs or add LED DRLs.
A diode also won’t work.

Was going to switch to LED lights so that I could. How come the diode wouldn't work? Is there any other way to do this? The other option is to split the headlight and paint the reflector back to a reflective material.
