ok so i have a 96 zenki s14a and i have converted the frontend to a 97-98 kouki s14b. i am trying to rewire the headlights so that the all four headlights come on with the high beams and only the two when the lows are on. i can wire this up one way and i have the two outside bulbs on highs and the two inside bulbs on with the lows, and thats good but i want all four on with the highs. if anyone can help i would greatly appreciate it!

here are the two different diagrams for the wiring
95'-96'

97'-98'

i was told to solder together the high and low beam power wires on the dual element bulb with 3 wires. with this done all four bulbs light up whether on high or low beam so i'm thinking there needs to be a diode on the high beam wire to the dual element bulbs allowing current to flow to the bulb when switched to highs but not allowing current to back feed the high beam circuit when on the lows.

with this stated can anyone help with what sort of diode to use or maybe some way to wire in a relay to control this? thanks in advance for any help!
