Gotta watch them HIDs, a LOT of local communities are starting to pass regulations against them (or rather a "brightness limit"). I know the town in Georgia where I am from has such an ordinance and the PD carries a card they put in front of your headlights and if the light shows through, you get popped with a fine and must show compliance within a certain number of days.
I'm afraid more and more places are going to go to similar regulations...

The pre-TIPM ('05 and before) jumper wire between the relays works well, but be advised that you now have your fogs on when your high beams are on.
I've since taken this wire out as I wired my off-road lights to the fog light relay so my fog light switch turns on both the fogs and the off-road lights (I hate cutting the dash for switches because they never look "factory").
I tried an experiment in my Jeep in using a wireless relay which works GREAT, especially if you have the HomeLink feature as you can program an un-used button on that to turn on/off your lights. The other nice thing about the wireless relay is that you can operate your off-road lights with a key fob (included) from outside the vehicle, which is a HUGE advantage when you have to use your winch at night.
I've purchased one for the truck and when I install it, I'll re-connect the wire for high-beams and fogs again...

Yes I do, but because it was on my Jeep, I posted it on a Jeep related forum. PM me and I'll give you the link...
