anybody know how to do it? is it as simple as running wires directly into the fuse box? or is it more complex than that

if you want simple, hook it up the exact same way it came from factory.

grab the online service manual for your car/year

your headlights already goes to the fusebox, to the relay.

then to a fuse, then into the car to the switch.

whats wrong with your headlights?

you need

a test light  
multimeter  
service manual

without any of those, you will spend a lot (10hrs) of wasted time trying to figure out where to start, and then where it goes.

if you change the wiring, you will likely forget what you did the next time it fails again.

Worst case scenario you can tie the light circuit that doesn’t work in with the one that does.  
Or you can fix it properly,you may start goin’ through fuses though!
