wiring aux lights

Hey all, I'm planning to add some Hella driving lights to my FX4
would this diagram be correct and safe?
also what type of relay? bosch? what should I look for in a relay?
thanks

I believe you'll find that the relay has a ground too. (Four legs to the relay.) Most Hella kits come with a wiring diagram (and complete wiring) that pretty well matches up with what you've got. Although I won't disagree with it, I don't generally fuse the switch hot lead. If you do, you don't want much of a fuse in there because the load is so low. So, it looks pretty good to me!

thanks guys, I was reading how someone put a 10ohm resistor on the ground leg of the switch so the LED would not be so bright.
anyhow i just want the lights to come on when I switch them on, not when the high beams are used like some of the other guys hook them up. I've got a lot of info from MYST
