As far as ripping the old wiring, it is not necessary at all.  It is easier
to just use the current output for the original lighting as the switching
current that flips the relay this way if your relay goes out you still have
the stock wiring harness intact.  Really easy to get lighting back and there
is no downside as far as voltage loss.
