I have a set of parabolic headlights on my car and when i swich to the high beam, the low beam goes off.
Is any way to make the low beam to stay on when i turn the high beam on?
Thanks!

Did you fit them to a Magna? Did you re wire them accordingly?
There should be one wire that has been cut at the connector and grounded to the chassis of the car, thats what i and many others have done and no issues here.

i think what you'll find is that if the solid red wire hasnt been cut and grounded you'll get the "winking" para problem it happened on my te but not on my th which we wired properly. so yeah what peandham said its the pure red wire though

What I did, bought some spade connectors, and some wire rated for 15amps, made one with a male and female end, and one with a blank and female end, slide the male spade into the OEM connector to the opposite side to the solid red wire, I think it's red with a white stripe, then plug that onto the back of the light plug, now with the other one, plug it onto te other pin on the light and earth it to the body, passenger side I went too the battery and drivers side I earthed to the washerbottle mount next to the horn and all worked:)
I did it this way so I wouldnt be cutting the stock wiring, this was my temporary fix till I can be bothered making a proper adapter

Yes i fitt them in a magna and the wires connection has been done by a auto electrician.
Fogot to mention, when i swich half way to the high beam, low and high beam are on.
