I took a slightly different approach.

The lights must be connected to a high-amp brown circuit; normally  
you'd go with the solenoid.

However, in my particular case, I have a Bosch Alternator with two '+'  
spades plus the sense line (both plus spades are hot and run parallel  
brown wires to the solenoid).  I spliced heavy wires for my relays at  
the alternator spades.  Anything wrong with this approach?

Like Paul, I have separate fuses for each filament.
