High Beam Relay or Fuse

Does anybody know where this mystery high beam relay is please? I have search everything I can but have found nothing. There simply has to be a fuse or relay that controls the high beams. It can't just be hard wired direct to the battery. I have bought the supposedly official repair manual, the one mini tech supposedly use and can't find anything about it at all. I bought a haynes repair manual and at least they give a wiring diagram unlike anything else and it shows a high beam relay but doesn 't say where. The fuse panel covers are as vague as every kind of literature about these cars from the manufacture. Help please. Thanks. Kevin 2013 Mini Cooper Coupe S

most lights are controlled via the body control computer (BCU) .... no relay and only one fuse for the whole shebang . . .

Hmmm. Ok. Does anyone know if its possible to wire in a lightbar to the high beams? Such as tapping into the whatever wire at the hi/lo beam switch or something. I have always just hooked onto the high beam wire at the light harness with all my other vehicles but with the Xenon lights it doesn't work so wondering if there is a way. I'm getting old and need brighter high beams. LOL
