Fancy footwork.  Four is two plus two.  Still.  Two in traffic, all you
want other times.  But see below...

Start there.  Relays first.  Just for fun, measure voltage at the
headlight before and after, divide new by old, square it, subtract 1,
multiply by 100, that is the percent power improvement you got from the
relays... and your headlight switch will stop its gradual journey to
oblivion as well.
