Default Headlight 4mod 2001 monte

I came across this article for a different Gm vehicle of the same year and wondered if anyone can confirm this strategy would work for 01’ monte?

all you need to do is ground out the yellow wire that goes into the driver's side low beam. How does this work? Well, in a simplified nutshell, the relay that controls the highs and lows basically kills the gound to the low beams whenever the high beams are switched on, thereby turning the lowbeams off while the highs are on. By adding a permanent ground to the yellow driver's side lowbeam wire, you have bypassed the relay's ability to switch off the low beams. This has no effect on your DRLs, fog lights, etc, and is a very easy modification to do.

I have no clue, but what I do want to know is what would be the benefit of doing this?

Also where are you at here in Utah?

What this would do is to create the 4 beam headlights when the high beams are on. This could possibly be a much easier solution than using relays and such. I don’t have the knowledge or the wiring diagram to say if this is how the monte switches it’s high low beams.
