Default high beam/low beam relay kit issue

I have a 00' Silverado with HID low beams and stock high beams for the time being. I recently purchased a "high four" relay kit so I can use all four factory headlights when the high beams are clicked over. However...this kit doesnt like to work with HIDs. It makes the HIDs flicker while turning on the high beams (in essence you can tell the kit is working, but the HIDs arent getting the power they need now). I saw a guy who simply used a 12 volt diode and jumped from one relay to the other in the fuse block under the hood. BUT, his truck was an 07' and the fuse block is different than mine (00') does anyone have the slightest clue as to what two relays to go between with the diode, or an idea to solve this issue? thanks

When I did the 4 hi mod I just cut the yellow wire and grounded it out on some sheet metal...don't know if that'll work with HIDS.
