I’m installing a set of light on my jeep chose 2 way to trigger the relay with a switch giving me the option to use my high beam or on off as needed. Right now my concern is since the jeep use a canbus system the voltage send to the high beam will be pulsed and could cause some problem with the relay, i would need to install a small capacitor to prevent that . If someone can tell me the proper one to use it would be greatly appreciated.

As you can see i already put 2 Diode on the circuit to prevent the circuit to overlap when the switch is used.

Why would the high beam voltage at the bulb be pulsed? How would your headlights stay on if that were the case?
You will only need the diode that's shown on the high beam wire.
