Hi time waster, you have negative switched headlights.
If you have the standard three pin socket on the back of you headlight globe, when you look at the plug there are two large female terminal on either side with the slots running vertical and across the top is the third terminal running horizontally.
This last terminal at the top is the high beam wire and the one you need to connect to.
Run a wire from the high beam wire to one of the coil terminals on the driving light relay and run another wire from the other coil terminal fo the relay to battery positive and the the relay will now operate when ever you turn on high beam.
Cheers.

Hi Time waster
Have a good look around the head light area yuo may find a spare plug already there for some extra lights. You may just have to fit a switch to turn them off to make them legal.
Just a thought.
