Chris,
There's no need to look at a schematic, except to decide where you want to
get power for your PIA lights (which is a separate issue). Think about the
functionality you described. You're not changing the way the headlights
operate -- you want them to be on any time the ignition switch is on and
this is the way they operate now (and this the way it must remain -- by
law). You are proposing that the additional switch perform a completely
independant job, namely to control the PIA lights. Simply wire up the the
UK headlight switch to do this simple on/off task and you're done. There's
no need to tie that fuctionality to anything else.
Comprende???
Neil
