Bi-Xenon retrofit issue

OK so....

I am sick of wimpy motorcycle headlights. I have retrofit two 2.5in bi xenon projector beams. It will be amazing since I have tested the headlight and it makes basically daylight on the road with a super sharp cutoff at the top.

The problem is this.

I have 2 pos and 2 neg wires for the lights to light them up plus 2 pos and 2 neg to power the servo to open the trap door to make them high beam.

My stock light setup on my VTR1000 has only an H4 socket which provides one constant ground as well as pos 12v for low then pos 12v for high beam.

How do I use the stock HI/LOW beam switch for this. ??

My only solution was to provide constant 12 to the lights with a tap off the headlight fuse then use the power from the high beam for the trap door high beam.

Anyone have any ideas to help?

Can I put a diode (one way electric valve) to let both hi and lo beam power but not back bleed the power into the system?

I am gonna try to put the way I did this on utube as it is an amazing ugrade.

What about using a 12V relay off the L and one on the H?

Ok so spoke to skokie and I am using my eastern beaver relay to supply the low beam (using a +12 from the 3rd eye to trigger it. Then running the hi beam shutter to the stock H4 socket on the hi beam slot. It already worked but I just need to button it all up. I will post pics and vids but this is WORLDS brighter than even the best halogen or even LED.

Its like when you sit at a light at night and a lexus pulls up behind you and you are just a shadow in their headlights, well these are 2.5 inch projectors and I am using 2 of them like the lexus.
