Location: Southern Sweden - Sturkö island		Here is the wiring diagram for my headlamp relays circuit. I installed the relays for to relieve the original cable harness, light switch and the hi/low switch.
When I measured before I installed the relays, I had 10,37 Volts on the Low beam and 9,53 Volts on the High beam - when I measured after installing the relays, the Low beam had 11,95 Volts and the High beam 12,3 Volts (Battery tension was 12,6 Volt in both measurements).

For conversion from mm² to US gauge, see link below;

Location: UK		That's a great post. That will certainly save the contacts in the factory switches from burning out as well as get rid of any potential hot spots and fire hazards due to the ageing wiring/connectors etc. I will be going that route in future. Nice one!

Location: Perth Australia		These are a favorite of mine

I mount this somewhere conveniant (close as possible to the radiator support), open the wiring harness, find the low beam and high beam wires and cut them, then the high and low beam wires from the dash end go to S1 and S2, head light ends go to L1 and L2, B to battery pos and S to ground.

You do not have to be particular with which circuit (high or low) go to S1, just so long as if its low input on S1, then low output should be on L1

I also found this schematic on the net

That schematic would be a kit, but easy to make and hard to go wrong as its an "over the top" system that just plugs into your orriginal headlight plug and you add the extra wiring.

Its totally removeable if for some reason you want to take it off

Location: Arizona		It is a sweet setup but it's $130 for the $25 worth of parts it takes to do it with the universal relays.

Location: Arizona		Apparently you can get the relays in AU for around $30 but not in the US.

And a two relay kit that's not a bad price...

Sorry for that - made the schematic in Swedish - it means "to be plugged with silicone" (because you don't use one of the cars original connectors)
