I'm working from memory here so bear that in mind. The foxeye (Mk2) relays work in a different way to how I modified the Mk1. On the Mk2 a relay controls headlight power, on or off, to a second relay which controls high beam or dip beam. I found it easier to to have a live feed to each of two relays, one for high beam and one for dip. These relays controled by the high/low switch on the handlebar. When I eventually post the wiring diagram it will be clearer and details the relays I used.
If you do it the way I did it I don't think the foxeye headlamp loom will be much use other than for a few connectors, such as headlamp bulb connector and maybe the connectors to the pilot light wiring. I think the pilot light bulb holders are on a seperate bit of wiring, but they certainly would be handy to have. I don't think you would be able to use foxeye relays or the relay sockets if you do it my way. I mounted the relays using the small brackets that came with them and push on connectors for the wires.
If you have a foxeye headlamp loom and the relays with it you may choose to do it the foxeye way. However I seem to remember that would involved changes to the main wiring loom of the Mk1, which could be why I adopted a different approach.
