[Roadsters] question for wiring guru

[Bob Dicke]

Dave,

It all depends on the capacity of the existing relay.  If there is capacity
just add the driving lights to the high beam wire.  The easy way is to install
another relay for the driving lights and wire it to the high beam wire going
to the normal headlight.  That way you'll be sure not to overload anything.

fan, and wiring higher intensity lights mounted in the fog lamp holes.  my
thought is to put those on the same circuit as the high beams.

Ibm thinking it makes sense to give them their own relay (is that
necessary?) and wire them all the way to the hi/lo switch.  or would it work
to just run them in parallel off the existing headlight relay?  or should I
run their relay off of the headlight relay?

or should I just run these off the headlight relay directly to the driving
lights, and let the hi/lo beams go dark on high?

car has antique plates so inspection etc is not an issue.
