That will eliminate one heavy current draw circuit under the dash. The dimmer switch will also be spared the load of carrying full headlight current that way, as it will become part of the relay energizing circuit. If you use a voltmeter instead of an ammeter, that's another heavy current circuit that's eliminated, although I consider that modification to be foolish and unnecessary when a simple shunt at the ammeter accomplishes the same result.
