Wiring Aux lights with high beams on 2000 Ram

Greetings,

I have been having some trouble trying to figure out how to wire my hella 550's to only come on when I have the high beams on. I can switch them on with just the rocker switches, but since the 99 and 00 rams are ground to switch, not to battery I am getting a constant 12v to the rocker. I tried using the ground off the other wire to the relay, but that doesn't work either. I tried to look at some past forum articles, but nothing there I could understand. Anyone out there able to help me figure this wiring thing out? Thanks, Jän
