How much current is your light bar rated for? Will the fuse on the lights handle it? Probably not. But you could use that high beam wire splice to trigger a relay. That is really the best way to wire it anyway.

That is how I installed my accessory lights that are behind the grille, with a relay so as not to put to much load on the power wire.
