Good evening

A couple more questions if you would be so kind

Any hints/tips on setting up the 508d from a beginners point of view?

Also wiring the headlights to flash when's the alarm is triggered, can I use the 200ma which also does the horn honk feature with the horn honk already in use, Or is there a better way to do this?

First question:-

Yes follow the instructions and have patience.

Second question:-

No way Jose, you need either one or two relays depending on the number of lo or hi beam circuits at the switch, 200mAmps to NEG to run one or two 10amp POS, forget it without relays.

The relay I'm using draws approx 150ma for the horn honk, is it ok to use a second relay off the horn honk for the headlight flash or is this too much for the one 200ma output from alarm?

Second and possibly third required in case you have two separate wires at the switch.

So the 200ma negative output from the alarm is ok to hook up to 2 or 3 relays without doing any damage to the brain? In parallel?

I'm pretty sure it's just the one wire from the switch for both headlights. So one additional relay to the one already fitted for horn/honk?

I wouldn't. Use an aux.

Or tape the white indicator output before the splitting diodes. No more now I've been on the road since 5:00am.
