I have not completely looked at the relay, but I think I can pop the connector out and not have to cut a wire.
By doing the relay, the alternator load with all the lights is less. to me that is being more efficient, plus the added wiring is in the car out of the weather.
so I guess it is My preference then

Sometimes we get into a "debate" discussion on something just for the heck of it, or to learn something. You are replacing 2 headlamps w a heavier load on the system than w 2 headlamps generating not enough load. The resistor appears to represent just enough of a load necessary to allow everything to operate properly. IOW, you have now installed a system with a load that is still LESS than the OEM system the car came w. Overall, win-win.
Thoughts?
