Default Adding auxiliary lights to high beams

So I've been toying with doing this to our wagon (posted HERE when in retrospect, was better in this forum), and was wondering a few things. If anyone can pop over to my post and let me know what you think, that'd be great.

A technical question or two:

Our 2010 535XI wagon has HID lights for the high beams too, right? They're called bixenons?

Is my idea of tapping into the high beam light wire to get a signal (I would think it's better to use a relay to power up the LED aux. lights, rather than tap it for the power, no?) a good one? Easy to do?

I've seen quite a few threads here about people upgrading their lights, so figured you'd know!

Thanks!
