I need HELP from all you electronic gurus!!!!!

I'm trying to isolate the high beam wire so I can use it as a switch line for my 30" light bar. I want the thing to only work when the high beams and switch #4 are on.
I'll be running through a relay.

i dont have any info on the highbeams, but this might help. the highbeam should be in here as well. otherwise take a power tester and go to one of your highbeams at the light

these are a (-) signal but i hope you can use it to find your highbeams. most likely the highbeam will be a (-) as well.

@nosbusa:
Slightly off topic. As I want my parking lights to be switched on the moment I start the truck I was glad to see the picture of the back of the switch. But how can I use the parking light wire when that wire has a negative voltage?
Can you explain what the (minus) means?

what are you trying to wire up? in order to change the (-) negative trigger ( or ground) into a (+) positive trigger ( or 12 volts) you need to use a relay

Hey Busa, thanks for the info on the grommet in the firewall ran a 4g wire directly from the battery to passengerside kick panel... I am ordering up a ditribution block to give me power points for the VHF GPS and anything else I can think of I want constant 12 volt.... I dont see anything for the high beam on 12volt.com I looked....
