I am planning on making a custom LED to put in my high beam headlight location. I have a 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora and the DRL and highbeam are wired in series. Since the highbeams/DRLs are wired in series, I was hoping someone could tell me where I need to wire in my custom LED so that it lights up with DRL Only. The LED Driver is a 350ma BuckToot. Here are my thoughts:

Left High Beam
1. PNK wire (6v+ with DRL) gets wired to VIN (Red) on BuckToot
2. VIN (Black) on BuckToot to Left Low Beam Ground (No ground on Left High Beam when DRL is active)

Right High Beam #1 - This is where I need assistance.
1. DK GRN/BLK (6v+ with DRL and 12v+ with high beam shared wired)how to wire?
2. PNK wire to VIN (Black) on BuckToot

Diagram to help.

Diagram

This is what I'm trying to accomplish:

-PnP DRL/highbeam LED on with ignition, off when low beam is activated (relay in diagram)
-DRL Front Facia on with ignition, off when foglights activated (already have this on 528T)
-Highbeam LED still functional for flash-to-pass
-FX-R HID ballast will not ignite with flash-to-pass, only the solenoid will activate raising and lowering the shield

Can you double check my 12v reg spots (I still have to test the PnP LED voltage to get it dimmer so that's why I put 6v or 9v reg) as well as diodes?
