Is there any way to wire the headlights so that when the high beams are on, the low beams stay lit? Thanks

yes it is possible but since the lights are atually dual filament bulbs( one bulb for both high and low beam per side of vehicle), as apposed to a 4 light system the extra heat generated by wiring them to both be on will shorten the life of the bulb dramatically, if not blow it within the first hour of use.
 






Not only will it shorten the life of the bulb, it might melt the headlights assemblies too. Not worth it at all. Instead, install driving lights that will turn on when the high beams are on. That is a lot safer way to increasing night driving.
 






it is possible like stated above but will kill the buld very fast!!! not to mention melt something. I often find myself driving around holding the dimmer lever back by hand to run high and low together... its lights up the road awesome!!!!
 






yeah, just pony up for driving lights.
