parking lamp re wire

When I got my 60 long bed, the parking lights never worked. I thought it was the head light switch and replaced it, still no parking lights. No biggie.
Yesterday I decided to find out what was wrong,and found out that the parking light circuit had no power , I removed the bulk head conector and found out that there is no wiring for it, guess the PO removed it.
So I thought why not wire the parking lights to the low beam circuit? Having added realys a while back I taped into the wire going from the relay to the low beam head light conector. easy
Since I didnt have working parking lights before this worked for me, here is a link if you want to do it "right'
