Default Headlight Stalk to Flash Aux Bright Beams?

I'd like to put in an LED/HID bulb in the stock housing (aim them down of course) and make it just a low beam, but use an auxiliary halogen/LED light bar as the bright beam. Would it be easy to splice in the aux lamp for the bright beam? Essentially using the high beam flasher on the stalk to flash the high beam.<br>
Any direction, wiring diagram, or positive feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I have HID retrofits and a LED bar in my bumper. I didn't hook up the high beams on the projectors because I've read where they can stick and cause it to always be on high beam. I decided to tap the LED bar into the high beam trigger wire. Works perfect.

The easiest way I'd think is to use a relay and have the factory high beam as the relay trigger. You can draw power for the auxiliary lights from elsewhere. This is great video showing how to use a relay, just change the 86 pin from using reverse light to the high beam trigger.

I would use a relay for sure if wiring into the high-beam wires.

That's how I have my lightbars wired. The high beam switch is the trigger line for the relays.
