All right, thanks!
I was just wondering where you guys tend to earth them? Drill a bolt in the chassis and do it from there or is there something more ready made available in the engine bay?

Yes new connector on the stud for the solenoid. My car has the relay mounted on the right side just above the tower bolt with the ground attached to the upright. However you can attach the ground/earth to any convenient place that's steel.

Trigger the relay off the high beam cct through a switch.

I would take power from the fuse block and mount the relay near it.

I just ordered the Wipacs along with mounting brackets and the wiring kit with the relay. I was wondering how I would go about wiring it.
I have seen some wiring diagrams already, but I have been reading that I am supposed to take power from the starter solenoid. How do I go about this exactly? Some pictures would be appreciated greatly from others who have this kind of setup, as I am having a hard time visualizing how it should be done. Thanks!
