    yes however from my research the headlamp switch should be live key on or key off.
    Is this true?

    I wasn't referring to wiring at the switch,,,,just that if the ignition isn't on you don't get headlights. Now the multi-meter will become your friend. With a just assembled car the possibilities are endless!
