    Use the same relay that you use for the switch. The switch activates the normally-open relay coil which applies power directly from the battery. That allows you to use them when you want. If you want them on when the high beams are on, connect the highbeam power to the same terminal that the switch connects to. When the high beams are on, it'll energize the coil in the same way that the switch would. Note that you won't be able to turn them off when the high beams are on.

    It'd be best to tap the switch wire to a circuit that's on when the key is on so that you don't accidently turn them on when exiting the truck (bump the switch).
