Default Quad to Dual light wiring

Hey guys,
My father has a 2002 Dodge Ram 2500 Sport with a Cummins. It has quad lights. I ordered him some aftermarket headlights from LMC. I mistakingly assumed he had dual. Is it possible to wire up these light into the quad system.

There are two plugs on the truck, one with two wires, one with three.

The light has two lights, each with a power and ground. They were both wired into one harness.

Thanks for any suggestions you offer.

Lights look like these:

Use the wiring on the truck to control relays. One wire will be hot with high beams on, the other wire should be hot with low beams on, third wire is the ground. (grab the 01 service manual to see which wires do what.) Just have the relays control the power to the lights. The switch is notorious for overheating, and melting things in any event. Going with the relay system, you remove 90% of the load from the switch.....
