After much head banging trying to find the right way to get my Light bar to only come on with my High Beam i found What i Wanted/Needed on the Aus Zook forum here is what i found.
As you may or may not know the Zooks are Negative Switched (But it is a Weird Negative Switched set-up) as in that the Plug on the back of the Head light has power to all three pins with the lights off.
 
On my Zook(1996 Vitara) the wire colouring is:
White with Blue Strip is Common(Positive).
Red with White Strip is Low Beam. 
Straight Red is High Beam.
 
Thing that you will need are:
Wire.
Spade Terminals. (Lots)
Crimper. (For the Spade Terminals)
Relay.
On/Off Switch.
Convoluted tube.
Electrical Tape.
 
1) Split/Cut & Splice or Scotch lock onto/into the Straight Red wire this is the High Beam Wire.
2) From this junction take the wire to 86 on the relay. 
3) From 86 take a wire to one Terminal on the Switch.
4)  From the other Terminal of the Switch to 30 on the relay as well as a 12V feed from the Positive of the battery with an in-line Fuse (i have a 30 Amp Fuse in mine)(I used a piggy Back Spade Terminal for this job & taped it all up)(So what you should have is a wire from the Positive From the battery & another one from the Switch)
5) Now connect the Positive wire from the Spotties/ LED Light Bar to 87 on the Relay.
6) connect the Negative from the Spotties/LED Light Bar to an Earth(i.e. Neg terminal of the battery or Chassis 
 
So now your Spotties/LED Light Bar should come on when you go to High Beam & the Switch is on..
 
Here is what i found from the Plug from the Back of my head lights:
--------------------------------------
Red (High Beam)
High Beam OFF
Low Beam ON
-------------------------------------------
Red with White (Low Beam)
High Beam ON
Low Beam  OFF
----------------------------------------------
White with Blue Strip(Common Positive)
High Beam ON
Low Beam  ON
-----------------------------------------------
 
im not sure but i recon that this should/would work on any Zook
 
I hope this help someone..
