Default bumper light wiring issue

My ZJ has the stock bumper lights. I want to re-wire them so that turning on my high beams does not shut them down.

I would think if I identify which relaay powers the highbeams that I can jump (or eliminate) a pin of that relay to do exactly this. If this is true, which relay and pin is it? And if not do I need to run them direct to a rocker switch or can I modify the stock switch?

Nobody? The more I think about it the more sure I am that I saw a way to do this by bending out a relay prong. But for the life of me I can't find the explanation

I have extra unused rocker switches, but I'm 99% sure this can be done simply by bending a relay pin. I just can't find the post again and don't wanna ruin a relay
