You could connect that pin to the high beam circuit. When the high beam is on, the voltage applied would turn the relay off, when you switch to low beam, the absence of voltage would turn the relay on. I believe that is pin 87b, which is in the center of a 5-pin relay,

The 5 pin relays of which I'm aware are a single-pole double throw or SPDT. This relay has a normally open contact and a normally closed contact. (The 4 pin relay only has the normally open contact and is called a single-pole single throw.) In the case of the SPDT relay it still has only one trigger pin. When the relay is not activated power is fed to the normally closed pin. When the relay is activated power is fed to the normally open pin. I'm sure you know this and maybe I don't understand what you are trying to say above but that doesn't make sense to me.
