Update
OK, now the days are longer at at times warmer I've got back into this project.
I like things to not look they've been messed around with in the engine bay so I mounted the relay behind the windscreen-washer bag out of sight.
I used a thin section of aluminium to mount the relay, the plate is held in place by the same screws that are holding the washer-bag beacket.
Now another questions for you brain-boxes out there:
I have a wire of reasonable diameter that runs from the side of the starter relay across to the drivers side under the top radiator support/cowl.
It supplies power to the relays that give 12V to the coil and horn.
Is it a Good Idea to tap into this wire for power to my headlight relay?
Because:
(a) It's handy, only 6" from relay.
(b) It means if they ignition key is turned to 'off' the headlights are too - can't walk off and leave the lights on by mistake!
Thoughts?
Reasons maybe NOT to do this?
