I want to rewire my headlights to only be able to come on when the ignition is on whether the switch is on or not. The reason I want to do this is because I have a very bad habit of leaving my headlights on, which obviously drains the battery. I don't remember if stock fox's had the chime when the headlights were left on or not, but mine doesn't work. Either way, this is what I want to do.
I've searched a bit on Stangnet and came across the thread about the foglight fix. Jrichker posted a diagram, which is essentially what I want to do with my headlights. I edited the diagram and it is presented below for a few of you guys to look over for any errors or misunderstandings. It seems fairly straight forward to me. I'd have to basically do the same thing to the high and low beams, which would require 2 relays.
I suppose the SPST 30Amp Relay would be ok? I realize the headlights should only be a 10amp load (55watts each IIRC x2 = 110/12v=9.17amps.
Also, can anyone suggest a good location to place the relay for my application? Without looking, I'm not real sure how the headlight wiring is routed.
Here's the diagram:
