Hello Andy, it's a similar principle as spot light wiring, just you use the power lead from the switch to turn the relay on, I suppose you could use 2 relays, one to run the main beam on both sides, and the other to run the high beam on both sides, it will be worth while using heavy duty wiring on both of these as well.

There are a few threads on this forum regarding the wiring of spot lights, just swap either the live feed on the diagrams (or switched power) and bob's your uncle. Paddocks do relay kit's for abour £5, either buy 2 of these or just buy the relays and cabling.

Best of luck matey

Andy, they make a difference and its nhot too hard to do. If you want i can give you the wiring diagrams I made up for mine and pics. In fact a look at

http://www.evilgoat.org/pics/rewire/

Gives the pics.

Relay feeds picked up at headlamps, each relay is fused and ffeed a pair of lamps.
Fog wire can be plucked out the loom (as can all of them if you are brave) right where my relays are.

Its worth over-rating the whole system just a little. Heavier wire causes less voltage drop and gives you more headroom for higher powered bulbs.

Thanks to those who gave me advice on this post and by p.m. I think I have a good idea of what to do now.
