Definitely not stock and no idea how they are wired into the headlight circuit or where power is coming from. Typically there would be an added wire coming from the BAT terminal on the starter solenoid supplying power to the relay contacts. Turning on headlight switch and then using dimmer switch would energize and switch one relay or the other on to select high or low beam. Actual power for the lights would be a separate feed turned on or off by the relays.

I believe there is a fuse on the side of the relay at the middle left and on the bottom relay. The relay on upper right without a fuse may be the horn relay and if it is, there is a heavy wire already coming directly from the BAT terminal on solenoid or a splice in the main loom that feeds the horn relay. Power for the lights could have been taken from there.

Check for a 6v supply input to the fuses and then the fuses themselves to verify you have power for lights.
