Thanks to Dave, Randall, Greg, & George for the responses.  I will spend some 
time checking the various suggestions over the next few days.   I noticed on 
the schematic from Advanced Auto that the fuses are after the relays - I assume 
to protect the relays from shorting out.    Is there an advantage to that since 
I'll be 'up there' anyway and wouldn't be a major issue in switching.
 
Thanks again.

I have all wired as in the link - but nothing happens when I flip the
switch.

Checked the fuses - ok

Checked juice from the switch - ok

Checked the live wire going into the fuse block - ok



But no lights. 



Wires feed into standard H/L pigtail. 

Grounded at Horn Tower connection. Just in case - put a jumper from ground
lead directly to battery - no difference.



Anything wrong with my schematic? 



Next step is to disconnect at relays and bypass - but I can't believe that
both relays are bad.



Any insight is appreciated..
