wiring going straight from the switch to the fusebox, and then
out to the headlights. <<

The article describes intalling the relays in a Duetto. The Duetto
has an intermediate box containing connectors between the fusebox
and column switch that can be tapped into. Later Spiders do not
have this intermediate box. When I installed relays in my '78 =

Spider I simply cut the wires. IMHO it's undesireable to cut
wires in a Duetto, where originality is important. It is less
important to refrain from cutting wires in a 2000 Spider.

To add the relays to a 2000 Spider, cut and splice the wires.
The wire colors remain the same as do the principles.

Good Luck,
