I'm wanting to wire my driving lights so they come on with my high beams but I'm not sure how.

Instead of wiring them together, why don't you just make a toggle switch for them and toggle them on demand? This way you could turn them on with your brights.

Go through a relay,
find which wire is hot on your headlights when you are on high beams and bring that into your relay as your switched,
Have my 7" HID's wired into mine and love them!!!!

I did both of the 87 one to each light.
85 went to the high beams hot wire.

This is a very common relay that can be picked up at any automotive parts store.
