I have no idea what color the wires are in your car, but the following diagram is what you need to do.   You need to cut the low beam positive wire and connect the 2 ends to the relay as shown.    You will have to do this on both sides of the vehicle.

The low beam wire is cut, but the low beam lamp is connected to the common terminal of the relay, and the low beam wire is connected to the normally closed terminal of the relay.  This means that the low beam wire is connected to the low beam lamp when the relay is in it's resting position.  When the High beams are turned on this energizes the relay and now the low beam lamp wire is now connected to your battery.
