pics of mine wont help as i rewired my whole car, and dont have much of thefactory stuff, but its pretty simple.
All you need to to is use the current headlight wires to trigger the relays.
Then supply power straight from the battery to the relays.
Then make sure you connect a good earth to the lights.
Then run power from the relays to the lights.
Use heavy wire for the one from the Battery to the relays, and from the relay to the light.
light wire is fine for the relays earth, but the headlights earth needs to be decent.
as I mounted my relays on the right hand side i used 50amp wire to run to the left hand side to minimise current drop. (actually i used 50amp wire for all as i had a fair bit laying around) but 30amp wire would do for the headlight earths and the side you put the relays, and 50amp from the batt to the relays.
Hope this helps
