Side lights probably don't need a relay. They only draw 1.65 A. Assuming 5 watts a corner. Dip beam is up to you and depends mostly upon the
switch you use. I would suggest a relay for the main beam though.

Probably best to run two relays as it is better for the dip switch.

defo better to have one for main/dip, and if you are feeling flush and want some redundancy, one for each bulb so that if a relay blows, you sill have
ther other lamp working .
maplins sell the relays, less than £ 2.

just use a 5 leg changeover relay, no need for two relays.
