High-Beam Triggered Relay Behavior w/PWM CANBUS System?

Anyone find a viable solution yet? I noticed that sPOD states one of their products works with PWM for the high beam trip wire.
I was looking though the Tyco catalog one day and found a relay with a drop-out voltage of 4V; it had an old Bosch part number too.
That should work for you without any other fancy gizmos. Retail was about $10.
I wish I saved the page though. Can't find it now.

Old good Bosch relays work. Cheap relays don't.

I get my set up fixed! This $3.50 part is all you need. It does make a slight delay dropping out of highbeams though, like 1 second. (So I can't do a quick double highbeams flash anymore because the capacitors keep the circuit delayed to shut off.)

Here is how I wired the anti flicker harness. (Again if you search eBay or Amazon these harnesses can be had very cheap I got 2 delivered off eBay for $7.00)

One thing I want to point out is I tried at first to wire this without grounding it and it didn't work. The flicker was still there the harness must be grounded.
