Hoping for some help here. I do not have any experience doing something like this, but would like to learn. I want to connect my Onx6 and S8 30" light bars to trigger from my high beams. This process was mentioned in another thread by @Hamm3r:

Hamm3r mentions the following in that thread:
"As to how, just use a standard SPST relay, connect the 12V power to the upfitter, and energize the relay with the high beam wire. Just do a simple inline wire tap off the high beam, carry that to the relay coil.
It will only fire the light when the upfitter is on and the high beams are engaged. Which is the only time you need a light bar on. There's no logical reason to run a light bar and not your high beams.
But this also allows you to run high beams and no light bar by turning the upfitter off, should you have a reason to do that."
This sounds pretty easy, but can someone provide a link to SPST relays that will be appropriate for this application? The S8 draws 10 amps and the Onx6 8.4. Or provide any additional info that can help me decide if I want to tackle this task on my own. Any help/info is appreciated. Thanks!
