Relay setup 200

Maybe that should be in my signature - "I do not claim to have any actual knowledge. Utilization of the above information is done entirely at your own risk".

Anyway, yes you could run it off one headlamp connector. You probably would want to disable the bulb failure warning 'relay', as I believe it would trip on low beams due to having a relay coil working on one side of the car and an open circuit on the other. High beams don't run through the BFWR, so far as I know.

Its just that the existing wire harness runs around, who knows where. The wires disappear into that snake and ?? One can make a case that results are neater-cleaner-easier if you use the existing harness, but you'll still have a bunch of relay(s) and wires somewhere, in this case at the headlight(s). It certainly would work, though.
