Almost.

There's a minor issue with the current harness that causes a pretty undesirable side effect... Fortunately it operates perfectly safely and I can use it until I install the fix as posted below. I need to do a resistance check tomorrow to see if I am going to need a resistor to make it work, but it did turn out simpler than I ever thought it would need to be.
I could have sworn that your latest drawing was one that I had started with, but I found a problem where the hi beams would latch on, so even after you turned them off, they'd stay on... But looking at your drawing, I don't see anything wrong with it... I guess I had something a little different.

And it doesn't look like you'd need a resistor in there anywhere... it looks right as-is.

What's the side-effect you're having with the current harness? I had some weird ass issues with my fog lights causing my hi-beams to latch on due to the way the fog light switches indicator lamp interacting with a line I had tapped to use as an input for the DRL switch I made.
