well, the courtesy light will not be connected to the low beam circuit.
it will activate a relay that will switch the lights on and off.
so when the courtesy light will dim out to a certain level (in voltage), the relay will interrupt the lights circuit instantly.
the relay i tested disconnects/reconnects at 3-5 volts range.
here is a quick video i made.

pay attantion to the clicking noise coming from the relay, once the lights dimm out at around 3-5 volts
ignor the first click sound that is coming from the power supply.
