Auxilliary Driving Lights - help please

I will be doing a lot of night driving (yes - on country roads with no street lights, but plenty of 6 ft 7 inch 200 pound red kangaroos), and want to instal additional driving lights. I want them to come on when high beam is selected.
The GS300 uses the negative circuit to activate the high beam. This is important, as the standard wiring of driving lights will not work.
Can anyone help please with a suitable wiring diagram. The high beam bulb has two wires going to it, RED/WHITE stripe and BLACK. I am not sure which wire to tap into as Lexus use the negative circuit to activate the high beam.
Here is a pic with the additional lights mounted. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers ... David

LOL...seriously that's awesome and dumb at the same time. No offense, or anything. It looks like a freakin' rally car haha. I still think it's pretty awesome

Anyways, to answer your question. Just tap into the high beams positive wire, like at the actual location before the wire goes into the bulb. Then use that tapped wire to trigger a relay to power your rally lights

i know its your car but this looks terrible OP,either adding a HID kit or a proper setup retro would have provided above adequate lighting and not looked as bad as these rally lights. if your doing alot of night driving and cant see, go to the optometrist man....

I may even put a remotely controlled switch inside the car rather than running wires through the firewall.
Pics appreciated please.

Hmmmmmm. I live up north where its dark for 3 months, so I appreciate the need for better lights. I am thinking about those clear lens fogs and converting to projectors. If anyone can recommend a good, small projector with a long narrow beam can you advise?
