Default wiring help?

short n simple, can i run a relay to turn my headlights on when i turn my brights on? one pin is ground, one pin is gonna be constant power which is connected to the other pin which between the two are normally open inside the relay(this pin goes to the headlights then), and then the other two pins are for the brights. thats sorta what i drummed up, if that makes sense. will that work wiring gurus?

I'm confused, are you referring to lowbeams as headlights in your post?

+1, me too--low beams (dipped), driving lights, ???

If low beams, you do not want them on with the brights as they will make a bright spot in front of the car that will screw up your long distance acuity in the dark...

exactly, you dont want both of them on at the same time. Just get yourself some decent quality silverstar bulbs, or a good set of fogs, it should help the beam pattern for you.

sorry yea i was referring to the low beams. and to the post above, i do actually have the silverstars. the problem im havin is that with my projectors is the the high beams are aimed way to high when the headlights(low beams) are aimed perfectly. i dunno i just thought throwin em all on at once would help the lack of lighting being thrown onto the actual road with the brights on.
