Turn off lows when high beams on?

[ControlNode]

I was able to turn off my low beams when high beams are on via Forscan. Its been over a year; I forget the exact parameters I changed. I do think there were some canned BCM configurations for "headlight type" or something of that nature. I vaguely remember there being different halogen headlight type options and one worked for my goals.

For some context, I also run auxiliary driving lights triggered by the high beam switch via a relay tapped into the high beam wire. Disabling the low beam got me the composite high beam pattern I wanted with the auxiliaries. I suppose this also keeps me compliant with my state's vehicle lighting laws and limits on number of driving lamps on at any given time... but I like it this way, anyhow.

HIgh beam lamps w/ aux lamps:

Depends on if the driving lights are DOT certified as to whether the setup is compliant for road use or not. Just having them mounted there while driving on the road would not be an issue. Most states are not strict with enforcement of some light types such as those, but they could use them as an add-on ticket while ticketing for something else though.

So in essence you want to create a death zone immediately in and around the front of the vehicle?

My thoughts exactly.
