You mean switch as in the turny arm at the steering wheel (on cavalier)? I would simply cut that wire and run the relay in its place? Now I wanted to know what would happen if that relay went bad over time, would my headlights simply stop working or would the relay just simply stop doing what its supposed to do?

Find the lighting supply feed to the switch and relay that wire, that will kill side lights, instrument panel and head lights your screwed if you want parking lights though.

yeap, if your car broke down and needed hazards. you would have to leave keys to make the light flash - not such a good idea. if the relay was to damage over time, just make it easy to access and change. should be good for a while. By then, most likely you would have a new car.

So in other words, I should pass on this idea? I havent left my headlights on since I had my new cluster overlay installed, so I should be fine.

Actually, is there a way to make a buzzer that will sound when headlights are left on and either driver door is opened or key is removed from ignition? I had that with my factory radio, but since I have a new headunit and all my speakers are ran by amps, I no longer have the beeping.
