I actually wonder if its legal to have both full and dipped beams on simultaneously.

Stick with modern automotive electrical equipment - dont hack with backyard dick smith electronics fashion jewelry on your bike - not the dipped beam anyway - you need this to work.

You thinking that a Jaycar chinese made "automotive" relay will be better quality than a decent industrial quality relay? The problem will be the single high beam supply wire in the loom feeding both headlights probably better to run a new thicker wire.

Naw the industrial relay is probably better quality, but unless it has a connector system you can use without modification, it is a liability. It's pretty rare that any relay fails, unless it is regularly filled with dirt and water.

Most faults are in the connectors because they are not crimped properly, have come loose and run hot, or have corroded, or because someone soldered them on and they snapped off at the solder joint.

My guess is, the wire will cope quite well, as long as the connectors are the right size for the wire diameter.

I don't like all this futzing with headlights. Some years ago I had a vehicle that used to regularly leave me in the dark, and it was highly unfucking amusing. I rebuilt the whole headlight system from scratch - end of problem, but I learned the hard way why you need headlights that work.
