I have 2001 1500 4x4 with a 4th gen bumper. I have mounted a curved 43in lightbar inside of the bumper. It is wired up through a relay to come on with the highbeams and would like it to come on with the highbeams only. That part sort of works... When my running lights and dim lights are on, the lightbar is off. As soon I turn my lights off or turn my brights on the lightbar comes on. How do I get my lightbar to turn off with my lights?

Pin 30: Positive from battery
Pin 86: Positive from highbeam
Pin 85: Ground
Pin 87: Positive Lightbar
Lightbar: Grounded

I don't want to put to a switch in the cab because that defeats the purpose of having it wired into my brights.

Sounds to me like you've tapped the wrong wire as a trigger. Double check which wire goes to your high beams.
