Main 12V power to the relay will be switched via a dashboard switch.
Trigger power for the relay I plan to feed from the main beam power supply.

You would need a really heavy duty switch for that purpose. Otherwise you would need a second relay.

Much better is to have the main power feed direct to a fuse and then onto the battery + terminal.

Run a cable from the main beam switch to the "dashboard switch" and then onto the relay trigger.  This means that the switch on the dash only has low current and also provides you with the means to disable them if you wanted, or engage the switch to have them work with main beam.

My apologies, the 12V feed I am disussing is already relayed. It fed some old spots which were fitted to the vehicle. I intend to double-relay the circuit and utilise it as described.

Apologies for being vague :(
