I also used this one that someone above has already posted :

I am sure there are about a million more.
It makes no matter that some of the articles are in Dodge forums, as the under-the-hood portion of the wiring is the same.
I used ideas from all of these articles to relay the lights on several of my trucks.
On my personal Ford, I checked voltage before and had less than 9-volts at the lights with engine running; after the relays and much bigger wire, bigger headlight-plugs, and much better grounds, I have just over 14-volts at the lights.
The difference was dramatic; then, I installed SEALED BEAM Sylvania Silver-Stars, and now I can see WAY out there; so much better that, in fact, I was seeing someone's lights following me and finally realized no one was back there; it was my own lights shining plumb around the earth.
