Wire the relay as follows. Ground terminal 85, Your original 12 volt headlight wire to terminal 86. 12volt wire from the battery via a 20 amp fuse at the battery to terminal 30. The wire to your HID lights to terminal 87.

The above is assuming the new lights pull less than 20 amps. If less than 20 a 10 AWG wire should be fine. If they pull more than 20 amps, you will need to use 2 relays one per each side of the car.
