Hi beams & Low Beams Simultaneously

So I checked a bunch of different articles and places and haven't found anything on having hi and low beams simultaneously. I have an aftermarket headlight setup where the Low and High beams are separate bulbs. What would I need in order to have it so that when i flick the high beams on, the low beams stay on as well? Currently Im running HID low beams and halogen high beams. Now the good thing about this setup is that the current draw for low beams is from the battery itself rather than the headlight harness, meaning that with the hi beams on the low beams would run on another line. The low beams run off a relay that uses the low beam signal from the OEM harness to initiate the HID's. Hopefully this makes sense to someone out there. Has anyone with a 6th gen done anything like this? I would appreciate some advice.

Also, my car is a 2000 Civic LX with the standard 3 pin headlight connector.

Re: Hi beams & Low Beams Simultaneously

The easiest way would be to wire up another relay to the High beam wire on the OEM harness to trigger a relay that wold run both the low beams and high beams off of the same relay.
