high beam signal wire

Does anyone know what color the signal wire is for the high beams. I am in the process of installing some driving lights and need to connect to this wire to have them come on with the high beams. I have all of the other wiring sorted but this is the one connection left before i can test them out.

If you have halogen headlights, the high beams should be white/green (pin 6) on the left headlight, and white/blue (pin 6) on the right headlight.

If you have LED headlights, everything appears to be integrated inside the electronics module with no external lines you can pick up.

With respect, I don't think that's the best place to make the connection.
Mooogden has H7 halogen bulbs - there are only 2 wires, 12V & ground. I can check the colors on my R53 but they may be different.
I'd make the relay trigger connection there, although it might depend on where the relay is - mine is right behind the headlight.

I linked the wiring diagram and pointed out the wire colors. Not sure what your objection is.

My + coil for the relay is linked to my + high beam wire (much less draw than using the high beam + for the battery feeding the driving lights).
