2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Wiring for driving lights

[Cariboo]

I have some driving lights that I want to wire into the high-beam switch. The lights came with a relay. I understand my 99 2500 high-low beam switch controls the negative side of the light circuit. If I attach the relay input hot lead through a fuse to the battery (the one that ordinarily would be the load line into a rocker switch), and splice the relay's negative lead to the headlight high-beam wire at the headlight plug, will that put any added strain on my headlight switch? It worked when I temporarily wired it that way, but I don't want to do a permanent install until I'm confident I won't fry my headlight switch.

I have my driving lights wired in a similar fashion. My headlight switch has been fine, so far, and it's been almost three years and around 30K miles.

I don't think the coil in the relay adds that much amp load to the circuit, considering the 3500's run their clearance lights through the headlight switch as well.
