Yet another head light question

I read the posts on whiter lights and how to wire them so both the low and high beam are on at the same time, and another thread on how having the low and high beam on at the same time can over heat the connector and cause them to get loose and start flashing the head lights.

My question is.... If I rewire my head lights with relays for both high and low beams, and run heavy wire to the lights like discussed in the whiter light thread, and install the forced low beam switch, will I over heat my head light and cause it to burn out, or over heat the connectors at the back of my head light's and cause them to flash?

IMHO, Yes. That headlamp was made to burn one filiment at a time. I would think burning two at the same time would create too much heat.
