Just checked. Here is how it goes for a 97....
From lows to highs, only the highs come one but while the switch is being held back the highs are at their brightest until you let go then they do actually dim a tad.
From high to low, both sets of lights come on until the switch is released, then back to only lows.

If you want to add a relay (such as the J.C. Whitney kit), that'* fine, but the circuit brought in by the relay to light up the second set of headlamps should be a separate fused power supply, not just a jumper lead from whichever headlamps are currently on.
(Yes, that can be a fused power supply for the relay, it doesn't have to be a circuit breaker, since if the fuse blows, you'll still have the car'* original circuit breaker protecting the original power circuits to the headlamps.)
