Nobody thinks a guide is pretentious or the only way, people love to read about how you did it.

Well despite perhaps appearing to be rather forward and outspoken I'm genuinely not in this to 'self promote'.
I'd love to do a 'step by step' guide....I've got a decent camera etc but I've no reason to revisit the job now it's done. However, if I get the chance to add more detail to the WIKI and perhaps a single lamp version, I will.

What I meant was that originally the left and right sides are separate circuits after the switches, with the upgrade you would lose both sides if the fuse blows or there is a bad contact somewhere. I agree that its very unlikely both dipped and main would fail at the same time.

I understand what you are saying but with only a fraction of the current flowing in the original circuit, the reasons for 'failure' are drastically reduced. Non relayed T25 headlamp switches and stalks fail BECAUSE of the high current flow, introducing relays all but eliminates this problem which must make these parts more reliable....sort of swings and roundabouts.
