Driving Lights

I am about to hook up some PIAA 80 Racing Lights and PIAA 80 XT driving lights to a bar up front and need to know the best way to hook the up so that they are only on when my headlights are on. I had it set up this way on my 99 but had a shop do it and I really don't want to pay 75 bucks for them to do there hour of work. I kow that is has to be hooked up to the low beams which is fine since they will have plenty of power output anyway. Thanks

Kevin

All you need is a Relay to control power. Make the hot wire from the low beams you power input, So when they come on it will turn the PIAA's on.

Use the power source from your low beams, Not the battery to relay.

Here's another diagram. It says foglamps, but there is no difference.
