X2 on taking it from the h4 socket on the back of the headlight.
You could run two wires through the fire wall a single run of 7amp figure 8 wire is physically quite small.
Or better still just run one wire from the relay ( under the bonnet) to the switch then to earth in the cab. Still one wire going through the fire wall.
So you are switching the -ve side of the relay control circuit rather than the +ve side, which is coming from the high beam on the h4 socket.
Ask your auto sparky mate about it.
Ok you guys are talking me around. I don't like hacking into the factory wiring so this may be a better option. Have never thought of switching the negative side. I think that's how hilux's work isn't it? Yeah I will give my mate a buzz tomorrow and pick his brain...again I've got everything else run for now

Thanks for the offer mate, but I'm a DIY kinda guy plus I have everything here I need for the driving lights and most of the headlight upgrade but just thought I'd double check the wire and now a whole new world is opening up.

There is a very cheap tool called a test light. Not more than 5 minutes work probing the wires and you would have it sorted by now.
