Like Joe Bob I never understood why people think they needed a kit. Relays are easy.

All you need:
- A relay need a ground. (#85) Lots of choices where to connect to but there is a factory ground post right in front of the battery.
- A relay needs a supply of power. (#30) Battery is right there so get a crimp on "loop" connector and connect to the positive battery connector.
- A relay needs a switching source. (#86) Use the output connector of the headlight fuse as it will turn on when the switch is turned on.
- A relay needs a load to control. (#87) Hook up the wire going to the headlight to the relay output.

Other then this all you need is a fuse on the supply power and you will need a 2nd relay because you are dealing with the low beam and the high beam separately.
