I installed this

kind of relay years ago...I use it to switch between hi/lo using the grey wire from the turn indicator stalk. Can't remember how I wired it now but it works. Stalk wire (grey) is attached to the upper left spade in the link...I would like to add a flash high beams to this so I though I would just control a normal relay to the high beam lights, and control it with the same grey wire.....except it shorts/buzzes etc.
If I disconnect the grey wire from the hi/lo relay I can flash my highs, but if I try to have the grey wire control both relays at the same time no go....I figure it is something obvious but as I can't recall exactly the way the hi/lo relay works I need to think ...and that hurts...so if anyone has a simple painless solution....
