Checked the WIKI regards improving the headlghts efficiency and options regards relay placement, I have the twin square headlghts and have yet to decide the location of the relays regards fuse box location B or behind the grille location C.
Is it best to take separate fused direct feeds for dipped and main beam from the starter battery or better to use the permanent live 12v bus on the fuse box?
If connecting to the battery I assume that the cables have to run under the drivers seat and under the front mat?

Re: Headlight upgrade
direct from battery, or you are still open to voltage drop from 30 year old wiring that was barely up to it when new.... one feed split tween nthe two relays,, as only one using at a time ....
my relays are behind headlights, with water resistant connections

Re: Headlight upgrade
I've bought one of these Landrover headlight looms to upgrade my lights:

While researching headlight upgrades in the wiki I also across this tutorial, I thought as I had to run a wire to the battery from the relay I might as well do this instead:

Thought this might be of interest to you
