I guess if you wanted to have the headlight monitor tell you when a relay
coil goes bad you'd be right on ... ;-) All joking aside, that is one way
to keep the monitor happy in its original location ...
The sensor module has to be in the current path of the lamp filaments for it
to do its intended job ... and part of the whole reason you're mounting the
relays under the hood is to eliminate the voltage drop from the factory
wiring. That's why the module is being remoted ...
If you wanted to retain the factory location for the module you could mount
the headlight relays in the car and run new high gauge wire out to the lamps
... but that seems to be a lot more work than running a single small gauge
wire back into the cabin ...
